Total preparation time: 30 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Necessary ingredients:

- 600 g ground turkey
- 1 packet (approximately 50 g) sesame seeds
- 1 cube or 1 teaspoon chicken/vegetable concentrate
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4-5 garlic cloves
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 teaspoons spice mix (garlic granules, mustard seeds, thyme, coriander, mint, hot and sweet paprika, pepper)
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the meat: Start by placing the ground turkey in a large bowl. Add the spice mix, pepper, and chicken or vegetable concentrate. These ingredients will add a deep and complex flavor to your dish.

2. The aromatic mix: Use a blender to create a mixture of olive oil, chopped garlic cloves, and bay leaves. This combination will bring an irresistible flavor to the meat. Add this mixture to the turkey and knead well until you achieve a homogeneous composition. Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste; you can add a bit more garlic or even some fresh herbs for an extra touch of freshness.

3. Shaping the patties: Cut pieces of aluminum foil about 12 x 15 cm. Take a tablespoon of the meat mixture and place it on each piece of foil. Use your wet hands to flatten the meat and shape it into various forms (squares, rectangles, or even hearts for a playful touch). It is important to lift the edges of the foil to prevent the delicious juices from leaking out during cooking.

4. Grilling: Place the patties on the grill with the foil side down. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes, then increase the heat to medium and cook for another 3-4 minutes until nicely browned. Do not flip the patties, as the juices will remain trapped inside, giving them a juicy texture.

5. Toasting the sesame seeds: While the patties are cooking, take a non-stick pan and toast the sesame seeds over low heat. Add a bit of paprika to give them an attractive color and a slightly smoky flavor. This step will add a crunchy note and a pleasant contrast in texture.

6. Serving: Once the patties are cooked, carefully place them on a platter. Remove the foil and let the juices drain onto the platter to avoid losing flavor. Roll each piece in sesame seeds on both sides. They pair wonderfully with various sides: crispy fried potatoes, brown raisin sauce, and pickled peppers for a contrast of textures and flavors.

Serving suggestions: You can serve the patties alongside a fresh vegetable salad, an avocado salsa, or even a yogurt sauce with mint for a refreshing touch. This recipe is versatile and can easily be adapted to your preferences.

Nutritional benefits: Turkey meat is an excellent source of lean protein, rich in vitamins B6 and B12, essential for energy metabolism. Additionally, sesame seeds are packed with calcium, magnesium, and antioxidants, contributing to bone health and the immune system.
