(Serves 8 as an appetizer)
ingredients:
½ yellow onion
1 carrot, peeled
1 clove garlic
½ C Enjoy Life Crunchy Flax with Chia Cereal
½ t sea salt
½ t garlic powder
½ t cumin
3 T chopped fresh dill
½ lemon, zested
½ lb. ground turkey thigh
directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Line 2 rimmed sheet trays with parchment paper.
Cut the ½ yellow onion and peeled carrot into a few large chunks. Place in the bowl of a food processor along with the clove of garlic. Pulse until finely chopped. Saute lightly in a nonstick pan with 1 T sunflower oil until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Pour into glass bowl.
In the same bowl of the food processor, add the ½ C Enjoy Life Crunchy Flax with Chia Cereal, sea salt, garlic powder, cumin, chopped fresh dill and zest from ½ lemon. Pulse until finely ground, resembling bread crumbs. Add to the bowl with the onion-carrot mixture. Mix together until it is all combined.
Using a small scoop or a tablespoon, portion out all the turkey mixture. Roll into smooth balls and place on the parchment lined baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil and cook at 375 for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned.
To serve for a party, place in a bowl and garnish with more minced fresh dill. Serve with toothpicks.
This recipe sounds great, but when do I add the turkey?
Oh my goodness, Jennifer! I forgot to add that step in-thank you for pointing that out!
Add the turkey to the bowl with the sauteed onion-carrot mixture and the pulsed “bread” crumbs.
Thanks again! Let me know how you like them
I would like to know the nutritional counts for this as well as a serving size.
