06 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped finely

# Instructions:

01 - Start by warming your oven to 375°F. Prep a baking sheet with parchment and lightly coat with oil.

03 - Scoop out the mix and shape into 8-10 patties before transferring to the lined sheet.
04 - Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until nicely browned. If you'd like, broil another minute for crunchier tops.
05 - Stir together the mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, and hot sauce in a small dish. Sprinkle parsley on top before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Try pan-frying instead of baking if you'd like.
02 - Spice it up with a pinch of cayenne.
03 - Pairs well with slaw or a side salad.
