Notes
For added moisture, you can use ground chicken or even mix in finely grated carrots or zucchini. To make this recipe gluten-free, simply substitute breadcrumbs with oats or gluten-free breadcrumbs. You can freeze leftovers by wrapping them tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then storing in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
