Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 lb. ground turkey, 99% fat-free ((454 grams))
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 170°F (77°C). Wash your hands with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds. Wash and sanitize any surfaces that will come in contact with food.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend the soy sauce, pecans, thyme, sage, black pepper, and applesauce in a food processor. Put the mixture in a large mixing bowl, and mix in the turkey with your clean hands.
- Place the mixture between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the mixture out into a 10-inch (25.4 cm) square.
- Cut the square into 10 bars and arrange the bars in a single (non-touching) layer on the lined baking sheet.
- After you are done touching the raw turkey, rewash your hands.
- Bake the bars for 5 hours, then flip them and bake for an additional hour. If you've used a dark-colored baking tray, your overall cooking time may be shortened by 15 minutes.
- While they bake, wash and sanitize all surfaces that came in contact with raw turkey.
- Let the bars cool before placing them in individual snack bags and storing them in the fridge at 40°F (4.4°C) or below. Enjoy!
