SweetBanana8605

These savory turkey and chickpea cakes are inspired by the ease and rustic approach of unfussy, one-bowl cakes—just mix, shape, and bake! Using lean turkey and protein-rich chickpeas, they deliver a double dose of protein with minimal processing. Oats add texture and heartiness, while carrots and parsley bring freshness to every bite. This recipe is ideal for busy weeknights, meal prep, or healthy snacking. Enjoy them warm, cold, or tucked into a pita for a satisfying high-protein meal.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash chickpeas lightly with a fork, leaving some texture.
Add ground turkey, oats, eggs, olive oil, grated carrot, parsley, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—do not overwork.
Using wet hands, form mixture into 8 thick patties and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until patties are golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days.
