Crispy Golden Mac and Cheese Bites
Baked chickpea pasta and lean turkey bites are coated in a creamy, velvety cheese sauce and crisped to golden perfection in the oven.
INGREDIENTS
2 oz dry chickpea pasta
2 oz ground turkey 99% lean
0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
1 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese
0.25 cup liquid egg whites
0.25 tsp garlic powder
0.25 tsp onion powder
0.25 tsp smoked paprika
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with avocado oil spray.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water for 2 minutes less than the package directions to keep it al dente, then drain.
In a small skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey until fully browned and crumbled, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, liquid egg whites, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold the cooked pasta, browned turkey, and shredded cheddar cheese into the yogurt mixture until evenly coated.
Distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin tin slots, pressing down firmly with a spoon to ensure they hold their shape.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the bites feel set to the touch.
Allow the bites to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a knife.
