Cheesy Ground Turkey Fritters

Ingredients

• 1 1/2lbs ground turkey
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded & diced
• 1/2 bundle scallions
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• Salt & pepper (get wild)
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. Combine ground turkey, flour, eggs, mozz, parm, scallions, jalapeno, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well.
2. Heal olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-low heat. With a large spoon, scoop the mixture into the pan. Slightly flatten to make a fritter. Don't overcrowd. Cook in batches to ensure even cooking.
3. Fry until golden brown on both sides -- about 6-8 minutes. Make sure to keep the temp medium-low other wise they will burn on the outside and not cook on the inside.
4. Garnish with more scallions and serve with your favorite dip: mayo, chipotle, garlic aoli, sriracha...etc.

I served these with blistered shishito peppers. If you haven't experienced the simple joy of these peppers, I must encourage you to do so.
