Turkey Patties With Mustard Sauce

Preparation

1. Step 1

   Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a heavy skillet. Saute the shallots over medium heat until they begin to turn golden. Remove the pan from the heat, scrape half the shallots into a mixing bowl and reserve the rest in a small dish.

2. Step 2

   Add the turkey, one tablespoon parsley, one tablespoon mustard and the bread crumbs to the bowl. Mix until the ingredients are well blended. Shape the mixture into eight patties of equal size, each about three-fourths of an inch thick.

3. Step 3

   Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the patties and saute over medium heat about 10 minutes, turning them once, until they are cooked through. Remove the patties to a warm platter and cover with foil.

4. Step 4

   Return the reserved shallots to the pan and stir in the remaining mustard along with the brandy and stock. Cook, stirring, a minute or two until the sauce thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the remaining parsley.

5. Step 5

   Pour the mixture over the patties and serve.
