Ground pork/beef/chicken, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, fresh dill/parsley, cooking oil (e.g., sunflower oil).
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no breadcrumbs or flour in the patty mixture. Ensure served with a keto-friendly side (e.g., braised cabbage, cucumber salad, green beans) instead of mashed potatoes, kasha, or pasta.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs/flour used as a binder in the patty mixture, carb-heavy side dishes (traditional mashed potatoes or kasha).
