Persian kotlet are patties of ground meat, eggs, onions, and potatoes or breadcrumbs, that are traditionally pan-fried.

Kotlet

potatoes

lb beef ((or lamb, ground))

eggs (, beaten)

onion (, grated)

½ teaspoon advieh ((Persian spice blend))

turmeric

parsley

saffron pistils (, optional)

Vegetable oil

Salt

Pepper

Infuse the saffron pistils in a small amount of boiling water.

Drain the grated potatoes and the onions very well and mix them in a large bowl.

Add the ground meat, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, advieh, saffron infusion and turmeric.

Knead together by hand for at least 5 minutes.

Divide the mixture into 15 equal portions.

Give an oval shape to each serving.

Heat 1 cup (125 ml) of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Pan-fry the kotlets on one side and turn them over before they turn too brown.

While cooking, flatten each kotlet slightly with a spatula. Leave the second side to brown then turn it over again and fry both sides until the kotlets are dark brown.

During cooking, add more oil if necessary.

Serve with raw vegetables and bread such as lavash, barbari, taftoon, shrak (markook), kaak, or taboon.

This lightened up air fryer turkey cutlets are a twist to the traditional beef kotlet, which is usually pan fried. If you are looking to cut the fat, this recipe uses ground turkey and is air fried until golden and crispy.
