Crispy Golden Mac and Cheese Bites
Baked chickpea pasta and lean turkey bites are coated in a crispy golden crust, offering a satisfying crunch with every cheesy, protein-packed mouthful.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz chickpea macaroni
2 oz ground turkey
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
PREPARATION
Boil the chickpea macaroni in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the ground turkey until fully cooked.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, browned turkey, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese until the mixture is thick and well-combined.
Form the mixture into small, even-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Whisk the egg in one small bowl and place the panko breadcrumbs mixed with the remaining cheese in another.
Dip each ball into the egg wash, then roll in the panko-cheese mixture until evenly coated.
Bake at 400°F for 15-18 minutes or air fry at 375°F for 10 minutes until the exterior is golden and crisp.
