Baked Mac and Cheese Protein Bites
Tender chickpea pasta and lean ground turkey baked into golden, cheesy bites with a satisfyingly crisp exterior.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea pasta elbows
4 oz ground turkey
1 large egg
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
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
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or a parchment-lined baking sheet with the olive oil.
Cook the chickpea pasta in boiling water until al dente, drain thoroughly, and roughly chop the noodles into smaller pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pasta, ground turkey, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, and nutritional yeast.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl and mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Scoop the mixture and form into 1-inch balls, or press firmly into the prepared mini muffin tin slots to ensure they hold their shape.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and the bites are golden brown and firm to the touch.
