Ingredients
  • 2 lbs ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Chipotle Sauce
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk (cream part)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, almond flour, paprika, onion and garlic powders, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne powder. Using your hands or a large fork, mix together until spices are evenly distributed through.

  3. Scoop out two tablespoon-size amounts with cookie dough scoop and roll in your hands to make a perfectly round ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet and flatten to a nugget-shape.

  4. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until cooked all the way through. Serve.

Chipotle Sauce
  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the canned coconut milk and spices. Whisk them together. The sauce is ready to use right away, or if you prefer to have it chilled, place the sauce in a covered container, and refrigerate for an hour.
