PaleYOLO: Turkey Muffin Balls

Ingredients:
  • 1.5 lb ground turkey
  • 5 strips of bacon
  • 1/2 lb champignon mushrooms, diced
  • 1 cup of almond flour
  • garlic powder, to taste
  • ground pepper, to taste
  • sea salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of ghee, melted
  • 12 count muffin pan
Prep:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Cube and pan fry the bacon
  • While your bacon is cooking, season your ground turkey with desired spices (even if they're not mentioned above)
  • When the bacon is almost done cooking, throw in the diced mushrooms... like a stir fry. Don't overcook the bacon and mushrooms though! Drain the excess lard
  • When the bacon and mushrooms are slightly cooled to the touch, mix in with the ground turkey
  • Once that's done, let the meat relax, and nuke your ghee
  • Get your almond flour in a separate bowl, mix that with the garlic powder, pepper and salt
  • Ghee up your muffin pan, on the bottom and the walls
  • Using a spoon, pack a layer of "breading" at the very bottom of the pan (so it's like a crust)
  • Scoop the turkey mix and place in the muffin compartments... Feel free to pack it in tight cuz the meat will shrink anyhow
  • Use the excess "breading mix" and sprinkle on top of the meat
  • Bake for about 30 minutes
Mind you, I just made this out of nowhere so I wasn't following anyone else's recipes.
Notes:
  • Next time, I would just roll up the meat in my hands into a ball, and thoroughly coat and roll around on the "bread mix" and still bake in muffin pans
  • I find that using muffin pans help lock in the moisture and flavor better
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! My brother said it was a hit!
