INGREDIENTS

4 oz Ground turkey

0.25 cup Cooked chickpea pasta

0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt

0.25 oz Sharp cheddar cheese

1 large Egg

1 tbsp Whole wheat panko breadcrumbs

0.25 tbsp Avocado oil

0.25 tsp Garlic powder

0.25 tsp Onion powder

0.25 tsp Sea salt

0.25 tsp Black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  In a non-stick skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles.

• 2

  Season the turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper, then remove from heat.

• 3

  In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chickpea pasta, browned turkey, Greek yogurt, and shredded cheddar cheese until the mixture is thick and sticky.

• 4

  Place the mixture in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up, which makes the balls easier to shape.

• 5

  Scoop the chilled mixture and roll into 4 equal-sized balls.

• 6

  Whisk the egg in a small bowl and place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.

• 7

  Dip each ball into the egg wash, then roll in the panko breadcrumbs until evenly coated.

• 8

  Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and fry the balls for 2-3 minutes per side until they reach a deep golden brown and are crispy all over.
