Big news! As some of you may know, I've been hard at work finalising my first ever cookbook and it has been released! The KetoDiet Cookbook which is now shipping from Amazon and you can find it in most major book stores.
I won't like, it's been tough to write a cookbook and I realised it takes longer than I thought, but I made it and I'm so proud of what my publishing team and I accomplished is just a few months.
For my first cookbook I cerated over 150 low-carb recipes and here is a quick overview of what you'll find in my new cookbook:
- keto-friendly basics such as mayonnaise, pesto or nut butters
- quick breakfast meals, both sweet and savoury
- portable lunch ideas such as salads, grain-free sandwiches and soups
- comforting dinners and all-time favourites including pizza, risotto, meat pies and the best grain-free bread recipes
- delicious low-carb desserts including pies, cookies, ice-cream, fat bombs and more
- drinks and smoothies
- The KetoDiet Food List: a list of foods to eat and avoid on a keto diet, a KetoDiet guide and my low-carb cooking tips.
I'm sharing these turkey patties because it is one of my favourite dishes to cook for summertime BBQs and family gatherings. It goes great with spicy cucumber salsa (see the recipe for details) or even Tzatziki (recipe from the KetoDiet App). Easy peasy, delicious and low in carbs, what's not to love? :-)

Ingredients (makes 4 servings, 16 patties)
Turkey patties:
- 500 g turkey, ground (1.1 lb)
- 1/2 cup almond flour (50 g/ 1.8 oz)
- 1 large egg 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 small hot chili pepper, chopped
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (30 ml)
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 2 tbsp chopped basil
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 medium spring onions, finely sliced (30 g/ 1.1 oz)
- 2 tbsp ghee or lard (30 ml)
Cucumber salsa:
- 2 medium cucumbers (500 g/17.6 oz)
- 1 jalapeño pepper, halved and deseeded (15 g/ 0.5 oz)
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (15 ml)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30 ml)
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1 cup full-fat yogurt or sour cream (230 g/ 8.1 oz)
Instructions
- Put the turkey in a bowl and add the almond flour, egg, crushed garlic, chile pepper, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, basil, salt, and black pepper. Add one finely-sliced spring onion and leave the other for garnish.
- Mix all the ingredients until well combined and then use your hands to form small patties (about 43 g/ 1.5 oz per patty).
- Heat the ghee in a griddle or regular pan and add the patties when hot. Don’t turn the patties too soon or they will stick to the pan.
- Cook the patties on each side until browned, working in batches and placing on a plate one at a time as they get cooked. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, prepare the cucumber salsa. Wash the cucumber and grate into a bowl. Wash and finely chop the jalapeño pepper. Add all the remaining ingredients, including the yogurt or sour cream, if using, and mix until well combined. Serve with the turkey patties.
- The patties can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. The cucumber salsa can be stored for up to a day but is best served fresh.
