- Freshly Cracked Black Pepper, As Needed
- 1 whole Onion, Finely Diced
- 1 whole Egg
- ½ cups Plain Greek Yogurt
- ⅓ cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 dash Worcestershire Sauce
- ½ teaspoons Dried Parsley
- ½ teaspoons Dried Tarragon
- ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- ¼ cups Extra Sharp Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Tablespoon Butter, For The Griddle
- FOR THE SANDWICHES:
- Dijon Mustard, As Needed
- 8 slices Thinly Sliced Deli Turkey

Preparation
First, prepare the broccoli. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cut the broccoli into manageable pieces and transfer them to a baking dish. Then drizzle the olive oil generously on the broccoli, as well as big pinches of the seasoned salt and crushed red pepper. Stir it all together well, then roast it for 8–10 minutes. Let it cool for a minute, then transfer the broccoli to a food processor to very finely process it into almost a crumb. Then pour it into a large mixing bowl with the onion, egg, Greek yogurt, flour, a big pinch more of seasoned salt and pepper, Worcestershire, parsley, tarragon, cayenne pepper and cheddar. Set the batter aside.
Preheat an electric griddle to 350ºF or a griddle pan over medium high heat. Grease the griddle with the butter, then scoop 1/4 cup portions of the batter onto it to cook on the first side. The recipe yielded 8 total with that measurement and I cooked them all at once. Let the pancakes cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until they get slightly brown and cooked through. They can be served as is at this point if you wish as a side, or you can make them into 4 sandwiches total. Smear Dijon on one side of two pancakes, then place two slices of turkey and a couple of avocado slices in the middle. Enjoy for an amazing lunch or light dinner!
