PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Place the canned chickpeas and fresh spinach in a food processor and pulse until they are finely minced but still have some texture.

• 3

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, minced chickpea and spinach mixture, parsley, garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 4

  Use your hands to roll the turkey mixture into 12 small, even-sized bites and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the bites are firm to the touch and have a golden-brown exterior.

• 6

  While the bites are baking, whisk the tahini and lemon juice together in a small bowl until the sauce is velvety and pale.

  Serve the warm falafel bites immediately with the zesty tahini dip on the side.
