Equipment

  • 1 Dinosaur Cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 450 grams Ground Turkey Mince
  • ½ Cup Grated Cheese
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Spray Oil Spray
  • 1 Pinch Salt
  • 1 Pinch Pepper
  • 1 Whole Grated Zucchini

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add ground turkey, breadcrumbs, cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to a large bowl.
  • Mix until fully combined. Don’t overwork the mixture.
  • Press mixture out slightly and cut into dinosaur shapes using cookie cutters, or form by hand.
  • Place nuggets evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Lightly spray or drizzle with oil to help browning.
  • Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping once halfway if desired.
  • Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove and cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat, this keeps nuggets tender.
  • Slightly thicker nuggets stay juicier.
  • Always check the internal temperature for safety.
  • Let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
