Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground turkey (93% lean)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup Granny Smith apple, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the beaten egg, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Fold in the ground turkey using a spatula, mixing until the meat is evenly coated in the seasoning.
  4. Gently stir in the diced apple, celery, walnuts, and dried cranberries. Mix until just combined so the meat doesn't get rubbery.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice right before scooping to keep the apples bright.
  6. Scoop the mixture into a muffin tin, dividing equally among 10 slots, and press down lightly to remove air pockets.
  7. Bake for 22–25 minutes until the edges are deep golden brown and the centers reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes.
  9. Use a thin knife or offset spatula to gently lift the edges and transfer muffins to a wire rack.
