B & B Turkey Hash

FOR THE TURKEY HASH:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, turkey, salt, and pepper.

In a large skillet over high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the onion. Cook, stirring constantly, until the onion is transparent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds longer. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled onion mixture with the ground turkey-potato mixture, the eggs, cream, bread crumbs, and chopped cilantro. Blend well and shape into 8 patties.

In a large skillet over high heat, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil. Add the patties in one layer. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the patties are golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a platter and keep warm.

FOR THE SAUCE:
Combine all the ingredients in a blender or the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the sauce through a fine meshed sieve into a small saucepan and heat over low heat until hot. Add salt and pepper.

Place a small amount of sauce on the bottom of a plate and top with two turkey hash patties. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, if desired.
