Ground Veal Patties
What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from finely ground veal. Veal is the meat of young cattle, typically less than a year old. The grinding process creates a tender texture that is easy to cook and versatile in the kitchen. The patties are a convenient way to prepare veal for various meals.

To cook these veal patties, you can pan-fry them in a skillet over medium-high heat until they are browned on both sides and cooked through. Alternatively, they can be grilled on a barbecue for a smoky flavor. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level before serving. They are excellent served on buns with your favorite toppings or incorporated into other recipes where ground meat is called for.
