These turkey bites are 'da (nutrition) bomb! You'll love them for a few reasons: turkey is a lean source of protein - essential for postpartum recovery and milk production. Carrots are chock full of beta-carotene, a MUST for lactating mamas. Beets are rich in iron, which will keep babe's immune system top notch and helps with vision development. And the super bonus of it all... you can munch on these with one hand. Make it a turkey boat by wrapping it up with romaine or butter lettuce and you'll get a crunchy flavor sensation.
Ingredients
-
1 lb Extra Lean Ground Turkey
-
1 Carrot (medium, peeled & grated)
-
1 Beet (medium, peeled & grated)
-
½ tsp Sea Salt
-
½ tsp Dried Thyme
-
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
-
2 tbsps Avocado Oil
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, use your hands or a spatula to combine all the ingredients except avocado oil.
Divide the mixture and form patties about 4-inches wide. The patties will shrink after cooking.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat (or grill on the barbecue instead). Cook the patties for about 4 to 5 minutes each side, or until cooked through. Cut into one of the patties to confirm doneness, as it may be hard to tell because of the beet juices.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
- Serve them with: Salad, quinoa, or sweet potato fries
- No Avocado Oil? Use olive oil, coconut oil or ghee instead.
- Serving size is equal to about 4 small patties.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge up to 3 days. Freeze in airtight container up to 6 months.
