Deep-Fried Mac & Cheese Balls
Crispy golden chickpea pasta balls stuffed with lean ground turkey and melted cheddar, shallow-fried in heart-healthy avocado oil for a crunchy finish.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz chickpea elbow pasta
2 oz lean ground turkey
0.25 cup low-fat cottage cheese
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 large egg
1 tbsp almond flour
1 tbsp avocado oil
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.25 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Boil the chickpea pasta in salted water until tender, then drain and set aside.
In a skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned and fully cooked.
Blend the cottage cheese until smooth, then mix it with the cooked pasta, turkey, shredded cheddar, sea salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to firm up, then roll into 1-inch balls.
Whisk the egg in a small bowl and place the almond flour in another bowl.
Dip each ball into the egg, then roll in the almond flour until evenly coated.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and shallow-fry the balls for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
