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
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the cashew cheese: Soak the cashew nuts in hot water for 15 minutes, then drain and add to a blender.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water a tablespoon at a time if the mixture is too thick.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, 1/2 cup of the cashew cheese, coconut aminos, chopped parsley, remaining salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Add the egg to the turkey mixture to bind the ingredients together before mixing thoroughly with your hands or a spatula.
Step 6
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Step 7
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Remove patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally garnished with more fresh parsley or paired with your favorite paleo sides.
