Chicken is often the first choice for poultry in most home kitchens, but turkey is fabulous tasting, inexpensive, and very healthy. Turkey is low in fat and high in protein. Make sure some of your other recipe ingredients are high in fat so your keto macro is perfect. Turkey can help boost your immunity because it contains an amino acid called tryptophan, which supports the immune system.
1 pound ground turkey
1 scallion, white and green parts, finely chopped
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 cup ground almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
Pinch sea salt

set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the turkey, scallion, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Shape the turkey mixture into 8 patties and flatten them out.
4. Place the ground almonds in a shallow bowl and dredge the turkey patties in the ground almonds to coat.
5. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
6. Brown the turkey patties on both sides, about 10 minutes in total.
