I believe in
giving credit where credit is due. I
found this recipe on Pinterest, which led me to this wonderful blog by Michelle
Hoover. You can find it here: http://unboundwellness.com.
She believes in clean eating using whole
fresh foods and warm spices to make the foods exciting and interesting. I made these poppers for our monthly “dinner
and a movie” night with friends. These
were a huge hit with all of us. They are
really full of flavor because of all the wonderful spices. Made as the recipe outlines, they are gluten
free. I confess I didn’t use coconut
flour, rather I used regular all-purpose.
So, if gluten isn’t an issue for you – you can absolutely substitute the
regular flour for the coconut.
Ingredients:
1 lb raw
ground chicken (or turkey)
2 cups raw
shredded carrots (shredded in a food processor or bought pre-shredded)
3 slices raw
sugar free bacon
2 tbsp
coconut oil
2 tbsp
coconut flour
2 tbsp dried
parsley
2 tsp dried
chives
1 tsp garlic
powder
2 tsp dried
dill
2 tsp onion
powder
1 tsp sea
salt
2 tsp
nutritional yeast (optional)
Directions:
Preheat the
oven to 375 F
Add the
shredded carrots to a food processor along with the bacon and blend on high.
You want both the carrots and the bacon to be very finely shredded
Remove the
carrots and bacon from the food processor and add to a mixing bowl
Stir in the
raw ground chicken (or turkey), seasoning, coconut oil and flour and thoroughly
combine
Line 2
baking sheets (or one large baking sheet) with parchment paper
Roll the
mixture into small poppers and slightly flatten them (you'll have 25-30
poppers)
Bake for
30-35 minutes, flipping them half way through.
OPTIONAL- Place them under the broiler for 5 minutes to crisp before
serving.
Serve warm
with ranch dressing or dip. (I used
Hidden Valley Ranch Party Dip.)
