Sweet heat in the form of an apricot-harissa glaze will make you and yours go batty for these patties! Juicy ground turkey seasoned with scallions and garlic are pan-smashed into patties and seared to develop beautiful golden-brown edges. Swirl together a bold, savory-sweet mix of harissa powder, apricot jam, and butter to make a tongue-tingling glaze. Add a side of herbaceous dilly roasted carrots and zucchini and a heap of fluffy jasmine rice to round out this meal.

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
• Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens; mince whites. Pick and roughly chop fronds from dill. • Toss carrots and zucchini on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine turkey*, scallion whites, garlic powder, panko, stock concentrate, 2 tsp curry powder, 2 tsp water (4 tsp curry powder and 2 tsp water for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Be sure to measure curry powder—we sent more!) Mix gently until thoroughly combined. • Form into 6 1½-inch balls (12 balls for 4). TIP: Rub hands with a little oil first to prevent sticking.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add turkey balls; gently press down with a spatula to make ½-inch-thick patties. Cook until browned and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side. (For 4 servings, you may need to work in batches.) • Turn off heat. Transfer patties to a plate to rest; tent with foil to keep warm. Let pan cool for 1 minute. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-low heat. Add scallion greens and harissa powder; cook, stirring, until fragrant and scallions are bright green, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in apricot jam and 1⁄3 cup water (2⁄3 cup for 4 servings). Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove from heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
• To sheet with roasted veggies, add as much dill as you like; carefully toss to combine. • Divide rice and roasted veggies between shallow bowls in separate sections. Top rice with patties and drizzle patties with harissa glaze. Serve.
