Servings: 5 Total time: 6 hours
Ingredients
1 lb. ground turkey, 99% fat-free
2 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Directions
Preheat the oven to 170°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend the soy sauce, pecans, garlic and onion powder, black pepper, and applesauce in a food processor. Put the mixture in a large mixing bowl, and mix in the turkey with hands.
Place the mixture between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the mixture out into a 10-inch square.
Cut the square into 10 bars and arrange the bars in a single layer on the lined baking sheet (about 1 inch apart so they don’t touch).
Bake bars for 5 hours, then flip them and bake for an additional 45 minutes.
Let the bars cool before placing them in snack bags and storing them in the fridge. Enjoy!
