Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1 cup cashew nuts
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Start by preparing the cashew cheese: Soak the cashew nuts in hot water for 15 minutes, then drain and add to a blender.
Add nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of water to the blender with the soaked cashews.
Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water a tablespoon at a time if the mixture is too thick.
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, 1/2 cup of the cashew cheese, coconut aminos, chopped parsley, remaining salt, and black pepper.
Add the egg to the turkey mixture to bind the ingredients together before mixing thoroughly with your hands or a spatula.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally garnished with more fresh parsley or paired with your favorite paleo sides.
