Frequently Asked Questions About Chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritter
What is a chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritter?
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.
How do you make chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters?
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.
Can you bake chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters instead of frying them?
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.
What is lor in a chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritter?
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.
Should the chicken be cooked before adding it to chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters?
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.
Why are my chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters soggy?
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.
How do you keep chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters from falling apart?
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.
What sauce goes with chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters?
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.
How should you store leftover chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters?
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.
Can you freeze chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritters?

What is Chicken cottage cheese zucchini fritter?
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.
