I like this low calorie ground turkey recipe, but if you prefer you could use any type of ground meat (chicken, pork, beef). You could also substitute with cooked flaked fish. Just flatten the balls for an asian flavored fishcake. To make it gluten-free or Paleo friendly, just use shredded zucchini or any other type of squash, or ground nuts, in place of the bread crumbs.
