• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey or chicken, minced shallots, garlic, chopped mint, chopped cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are integrated.
2. Form the mixture into 2 equal-sized patties.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
