In a Skillet

Diner Turkey Hash Patties with Scrambled Eggs

3 teaspoons canola oil

1 onion, finely chopped

2 celery stalks, chopped

1 (7-ounce) baking potato, peeled and chopped

½ pound ground skinless turkey breast

1 large egg white

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

½ teaspoon ground sage

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

3 cups fat-free egg substitute

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives

1  Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add potato and cook, stirring until almost cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate and let cool. Wipe skillet clean.

2  Mix together cooled onion mixture, the turkey, egg white, Worcestershire sauce, sage, salt, and pepper in bowl until combined well. With damp hands, shape mixture into 12 (½-inch-thick) patties.

3  Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in skillet over medium heat. Add patties, in batches if needed, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and keep warm. Wipe skillet clean.

4  Spray skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Pour egg substitute into skillet; add parsley and chives. Cook until eggs begin to set, about 1½ minutes, pushing egg mixture toward center of skillet to form large soft curds, cooking eggs until set, about 3 minutes longer. Serve with hash patties.
