Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Well, this was a disaster for me. It made a total mess of the food processor, which was ten hard to clean. After cleaning it twice, I put it away in the pantry and later smelled something awful - indeed, it was the food processor, which I then washed yet again. Putting raw meat in the food processor was (at least for me), a no-go. However, it was flavorful, and we froze the leftovers. So, if you don't mind the mess, smell and clean-up, have at it.

    We both liked these. I used one pound ground turkey and eyeballed the rest of the amounts (1 whole egg and 1 yolk). After processing the meat was very "sticky" and difficult to shape into patties, but it worked out ok. Very good served with lettuce, onion & the yogurt sauce in a pita.

    Delicious! I used dried herbs instead of fresh ones and it was just as good. Didn’t make the accompanying yogurt sauce, used a hummus instead and served with a herbed lemon rice recipe also in this book, which worked well.

    I was a little concerned when the raw meat mixture looked like paté but the patties were very juicy and flavourful and the texture didn't seem over-processed at all. The meat wasn't quite cooked through after 6 minutes in the pan so I popped it the oven for 5 minutes to finish. I would reduce the salt a little next time.
