Thyme and mustard turkey patties from the air fryer, with warm baby potatoes and peas in a Dijon dressing.

Ingredients

Serves 4.

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, small ones
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 1½ cups frozen peas
  • ¼ bunch parsley, chopped
  • 1½ tbsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Contains: egg, mustard, sulfites. Always read the labels if you cook for someone with an allergy.

Method

  1. Prick the baby potatoes, put them in a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons of water, cover and microwave on high for 10 minutes, until a knife slides in easily. Heat the air fryer to 400°F and put the kettle on.
  2. Mix the ground turkey with the eggs, the garlic, 2 teaspoons of the Dijon mustard, the dried thyme, dried oregano, ½ teaspoon of salt and plenty of black pepper. Shape into 8 small patties and lay them in the basket in a single layer (a standard family-size basket holds them in one layer; if yours is smaller, use the oven method below), then wash your hands in hot, soapy water.
  3. Brush the patties with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and air-fry for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway with a spatula, until golden and cooked through with no pink inside (165°F).
  4. Meanwhile, cook the peas in a saucepan of just-boiled water for 3 minutes until steaming hot, then drain. Whisk the rest of the oil and mustard with the apple cider vinegar and a pinch of salt.
  5. Halve the potatoes and toss them warm with the peas, the dressing and the parsley. Wash the spatula before using it to serve. Serve with the patties.
No air fryer? Bake on a lined baking tray at 400°F for 15–18 minutes.
Tip: Halving the potatoes while they are hot lets the mustard dressing soak right in.

Leftovers: The patties keep in the fridge for 2 days; reheat until piping hot. The potato salad keeps 2 days and is good cold.
