• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoon minced fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
• 2 tablespoons fresh sage or 2 teaspoons dried sage leaves
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 lbs. lean ground turkey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

In a bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients.  Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well.  Shape into twelve 3-inch patties.

In a large skillet, cook the patties in oil in batches over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink.  Drain on paper towels if necessary.

FREEZE OPTION:  Wrap each patty in plastic wrap; transfer patties to resealable freezer container.  To use, unwrap patties and place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until heated through, about 15 minutes on each side.
