Preparation of Breaded and Fried Burgers
To prepare the breaded and fried burgers, first, if you don’t have a meat grinder or a food processor with blades, ask your butcher to grind the meat for you.
You can use chicken breast, but also the thigh or drumstick, which are more flavorful.
If you have a food processor, insert the turkey meat cut into large pieces.
Cut the cabbage (green is also fine) along with the Tropea onion and add them to the meat.
The cabbage adds an extra crunch to the burgers.
Add the tomato paste, egg, salt, and pepper, and blend until everything is well chopped and combined.
Form the Turkey Burgers using a pastry cutter if you have one, or take a large handful of the mixture, work it between your hands as if it were a large meatball.
Flatten it between your hands to about 0.4 inches in height, then roll it in the breadcrumbs arranged on a deep plate.
Now all you have to do is heat plenty of oil for frying and, using a spatula, immerse the Turkey Burgers in the hot oil.
Let them brown on one side, then flip them using a spatula, let them drain on absorbent paper before serving the breaded and fried burgers with lemon slices and mayonnaise.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I bake the burgers?
Of course, just bread them, drizzle oil on a baking sheet or parchment paper, drizzle more on top, and bake at 355°F for 15 minutes.
Can I skip the cabbage?
My advice is to include it, but if you don’t like it, you can use 1 red Tropea onion or other crunchy vegetables, not potatoes or carrots.
