Turkey and Edamame Bites with Sesame Crust and Creamy Lemon Dip

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F. Lightly grease a baking tray with half of the olive oil.

2. 2

   Place the edamame in a food processor and pulse several times until finely chopped, not pureed. Transfer to a large bowl.

3. 3

   Add the ground turkey, ground oats, beaten egg, red onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the parsley, half of the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, cumin, smoked paprika, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.

4. 4

   With lightly damp hands, shape the mixture into 16 even oval or round bites.

5. 5

   Place the sesame seeds on a plate. Roll each bite lightly in the sesame seeds to coat the surface, then arrange them on the tray. Brush or drizzle with the remaining olive oil.

6. 6

   Bake for 16 to 18 minutes at 220 °C / 425 °F, turning halfway through, until the bites are golden and cooked through.

7. 7

   Meanwhile, make the dip by mixing the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, dill, remaining parsley, remaining lemon juice, remaining lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl until creamy.

8. 8

   Serve the bites hot with the creamy lemon herb dip on the side.
