Ingredients
- 500g Chicken Mince
- 2 Cups (320g) Cooked Quinoa, Cooled
- 2 Cups (100g) Trimmed And Finely Shredded Kale Leaves

Method
- Place the chicken, quinoa, kale, feta, eggs, lemon rind, mint and parsley in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix well to combine.
- Shape ⅓-cup portions of the mixture into balls and flatten gently to make patties.
