I liked these but my family didn't care for them as much as I did. I think it's a great idea for a healthy dinner or lunch. I served with warmed cranberry sauce, which helped the flavor, since the ground turkey seemed a little bland to me. I think I'll try this again, adding more spices to the mixture. I still think it's such a cool idea to coat the patties in a combo of pecan pieces & potato flakes!

I've prepared this twice now: it was really good the first time and even better the second. Picky poultry eater DH REALLY liked it, too. I used dried thyme instead of fresh and subbed paprika and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for the poultry seasoning. I omitted the parsley. I had a slight problem with cooking the patties done without over-browning the outside coating of potatoes and pecans. I think that was my fault, not the recipe's. I served with the cranberry sauce, sweet potato with a little butter and recipe #236815.
