These tender ground Turkey Sweet Potato Bites are savory and ever so slightly sweet (inspired by these sweet potato chicken poppers). As an added bonus, they are Top 8 Allergen Free! They’re perfect as an appetizer, or for your little one to have for lunch or dinner. You could even put them on mini buns and call them sliders.
They come together quickly, as all ingredients are mixed together in one bowl and shaped into snack sized bites.
The recipe is versatile, and the seasonings and ingredients can be tweaked to your preferences. I went a little easy on the garlic, but some might like more. A few red pepper flakes would give it a nice kick, if that’s your style. Or you could go Italian style, and add basil, oregano, and parmesan. You could even make it extra hearty and add some bacon bits and cheddar. The options are endless!
