Golden Macaroni and Cheese Bites
Pan-fried pasta bites made with protein-packed chickpea noodles and sharp cheddar, offering a remarkably crispy texture in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
1 oz Chickpea elbow pasta
4 oz 99% lean ground turkey
0.5 oz Sharp cheddar cheese
1 large Egg white
2 tbsp Whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
0.25 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tbsp Avocado oil
PREPARATION
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Cook the ground turkey in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked.
In a medium bowl, combine the warm pasta, cooked turkey, and shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is sticky.
Stir in the garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper, then place the mixture in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
Form the chilled mixture into small, tightly packed balls.
Dip each ball into the whisked egg white and then roll in the panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated.
Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the bites for 2-3 minutes per side, turning carefully, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
