Ground Turkey Or Chicken Patties

---

Simply spiced ground turkey or chicken made into patties with seasonings readily available in most pantries. I used ritz crackers and minced sweet onion instead of the onion flakes. You can cook these patties up to 2 days before serving. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook. When you want to serve, microwave on high for 30 to 45 seconds. Originally from a family circle magazine clipping. Excellent served with french toast and fruit for breakfast or brunch. I have also made these patties into a breakfast sandwich with a fried egg and slice of cheese on top of a toasted english muffin.
