Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons fennel seed
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• ½ teaspoon anise seed
• ⅛ teaspoon ground mace
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• ¼ teaspoon dried minced onion
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 pound lean ground pork
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ cup dry red wine, chilled
• 1 tablespoon raw sugar
• ½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• ⅛ teaspoon coriander seed, coarsely cracked
• 2 pounds extra-lean ground turkey breast

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour the chilled red wine into a large bowl. Whisk in the sugar and salt until dissolved. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, paprika, fennel seed, anise seed, parsley flakes, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, minced onion, coriander seed, and mace. Mix in the turkey breast and pork with your hands. Mix thoroughly so the seasonings are evenly distributed in the meat mixture.

Step 2

Line two or three baking sheets with plastic wrap. Roll the meat mixture into 1/4 cup balls, flatten to 1/2 inch thick, and place in a single layer on the baking sheet. Cover with another layer of plastic, and freeze until solid. Once solid, place patties into a resealable plastic bag to store.
