Poultry alternative to crab cakes. Turkey may be substituted. Excellent way to use leftovers!
INGREDIENTS (for 6 servings):
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken meat
- 1/2 cup cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup tartar sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 dashes hot sauce

PREPARATION:
In a bowl, mix the chicken, cracker crumbs, onion, mayonnaise, tartar sauce, parsley, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Form the mixture into 6 cakes. Place the bread crumbs in a bowl. Dip the cakes into the bread crumbs to evenly coat.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the cakes until evenly browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels before serving.
