Tips on using this seasoning recipe.

Use this seasoning mix to coat ground turkey patties before frying or baking. Dredge the patties in the seasoning blend, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides. Brush the patties with a beaten egg to help the seasoning adhere to them.

You could do the same with ground turkey meatballs. Roll the turkey into rounds about the size of a golf ball, then coat the meatballs in a beaten egg. Then dredge the coated meatballs in the seasoning mix before frying or baking.
