A chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritter is a savory patty made with chicken, zucchini, egg and lor, a Turkish whey cheese. The mixture is shaped into small fritters and cooked in a pan or oven.
Mix grated, well-drained zucchini with finely chopped cooked chicken, lor, egg and seasonings. Shape the mixture into small patties and pan-cook until browned and cooked through, turning them gently once the first side has set.
Yes, chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters can be baked. Arrange small portions on a lined baking sheet with space between them, then bake until the edges are browned and the centers are cooked; crowding the tray can make them steam.
Lor is a mild Turkish cheese made from whey, and it is not exactly the same as American-style cottage cheese. It gives chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters a light, crumbly texture; drain it first if it seems wet.
Cooking the chicken first is the easiest way to ensure chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters cook evenly. You can use raw chicken if it is finely chopped, but the center of every fritter must cook completely before serving.
Chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters turn soggy when excess moisture from the zucchini or cheese steams in the pan. Squeeze the grated zucchini firmly, drain wet lor, and cook in a single layer without crowding.
To keep chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters intact, remove excess liquid and include enough egg to bind the mixture. Make small patties, let the first side form a firm golden crust, and flip them carefully with a thin spatula.
Garlic yogurt sauce is a classic match for chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters, while lemony yogurt or tzatziki also works well. Serve them with a crisp salad for a simple meal or as a savory snack.
Cool leftover chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters promptly, then keep them covered in the refrigerator and eat them within a few days. Reheat only the portion you need until hot throughout, rather than leaving them at room temperature.
Yes, cooked chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters freeze well. Cool them completely, separate layers with parchment in a sealed container, and freeze; thaw before reheating in an oven or pan until hot throughout.

Chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritter is a mücver-style take on Turkish zucchini fritters, made with chicken, grated zucchini and lor, a fresh whey cheese. The mixture is usually bound with egg and cooked in a pan or baked.
The zucchini keeps the fritter tender, while the mild cheese and chicken make it more substantial than a simple vegetable fritter. In Turkey, it can be served as part of a meal or alongside yoghurt and salad; elsewhere, it also works well for brunch or a light supper. It is high in protein and low in carbohydrates. Baking instead of pan-frying keeps it lighter.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
