Chef tips

If the mixture feels too wet, let it rest for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some of the moisture before shaping the patties. For a deeper golden finish, broil for 2 minutes at the end, watching closely.

Substitutions

You can substitute the turkey with ground chicken. Cottage cheese can be replaced with drained ricotta, though the texture will be slightly softer. Dill can be swapped for mint or chives.
