Ingredients

  • 1 Lb Ground turkey
  • 1 Whole Medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 Whole Green bell pepper diced
  • 2 Stalks Celery diced
  • 3 Tbsp Creole seasoning divided
  • 1 Cup Gluten free panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 Whole Eggs beaten
  • 1 Cup Gluten free flour
  • 1 Cup Canola oil

Instructions

  • Preheat your the oil in a cast iron skillet to approximately 350°F.
  • Begin by heating a Tbsp of oil in a skillet and add the holy trinity and spices. Cook for 4 - 5 minutes until softened. Remove from pan and let cool.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, the vegetables and spices until well combined.
  • Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls about the size of a golf ball.
  • Next, work the boudin balls through your dredging station - flour, egg mixture and breadcrumbs. I added some of the Cajun mixture to each of these items so the spice would be mixed throughout the ingredients.
  • Carefully drop the boudin balls into the hot oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the boudin balls from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve the boudin balls hot on top of a Cajun tomato sauce and topped with a remoulade aoili.
  • Enjoy!
