0.5 cup canned chickpeas (rinsed)

0.25 cup fresh parsley

0.25 cup fresh cilantro

1 clove garlic

1 clove garlic

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp tahini

0.25 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pulse the canned chickpeas in a food processor until they are coarsely chopped but not yet a smooth paste.

• 2

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, one minced garlic clove, cumin, coriander, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients and form the mixture into 6 to 8 small, slightly flattened patties.

• 4

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

• 5

  Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

• 6

  While the patties are searing, whisk together the tahini, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, the second minced garlic clove, and water in a small bowl until the sauce is creamy.

• 7

  Serve the crispy patties immediately, drizzled generously with the zesty tahini sauce.
