  "introduction": "Pan-fried turkey patties with a crisp golden crust and heat from crushed red pepper. Cast iron and avocado oil. Five to six minutes per side.",
  "ingredients": [
    "3 lbs ground turkey",
    "2 eggs",
    "½ cup flour",
    "1 tbsp olive oil (mixed into the meat)",
    "2 tsp salt",
    "2 tsp crushed red pepper",
    "½ tsp garlic powder",
    "Avocado oil (for the pan)"
  ],
  "equipment": [
    "Bowl",
    "Cast iron skillet",
    "Spatula, to flip",
    "Instant-read thermometer"
  ],
  "method": [
    "Mix all ingredients gently by hand. Do not overwork.",
    "Form into large patties.",
    "Heat avocado oil in cast iron over medium to medium-high.",
    "Pan-fry 5 to 6 minutes per side until deep golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal)."
  ],
  "notes": [
    "The 1 tbsp olive oil mixed into the meat is what keeps lean turkey from drying out.",
    "Cast iron plus avocado oil is the combo that gets this crust. Non-stick will not do it.",
    "2 tsp red pepper across 3 lbs reads as confidently spicy, not punishing.",
    "Thanks to my dear friend Matias Blazevic for teaching me this recipe. FUCKING DELICIOUS."
