Spicy Sausage Patties

1 poblano chili, roasted, stemmed, and seeded

1/2 C. tightly packed fresh cilantro

1/2 C. tightly packed fresh Italian parsley

1 bay leaf

2 t. crushed dried oregano

1/2 t. salt

1/8 t. freshly ground pepper

1/8 t. ground cumin

1 lb. lean ground turkey (99% fat free)

In a food processor, place all of the ingredients except the turkey, and process until smooth. Scrape the mixture into a medium sized bowl. Add the turkey and combine will with your hands until the spice mixture is evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let the flavors mix.

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Form the sausage into 3-inch patties. Fry the patties for 3 to 5 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
