Grain Free Chicken Nuggets
These Grain Free Chicken Nuggets are made with ground turkey instead of chicken, though chicken works too! Giving up fast food was a struggle so I started developing recipes for our fast food favorites.
One of the problems I thought I was going to have when I started on my journey, was letting go of certain food’s that I loved. After a while, my craving’s for certain food’s were getting to tough to ignore. I knew I would have to do something about that. I started looking into alternatives and I found this amazing recipe. Eating these keeps me from feeling like I’m being deprived and helps me stay on track!

My kids absolutely love their chicken nuggets and are so happy when I make these. They say they taste just like the ones they used to eat when we would go out. That is a total mommy win for me in my book. I was worried that they would not like them, but to my surprise, it has become a family staple.
If you have some picky eaters in your family, try this recipe and let know how everyone reacted to it. I know they will love them just as much as we all do. This recipe tastes great with a side of sugar free ketchup or my Homemade Ranch Dressing.

Would almond milk work? I don’t have any coconut milk and the local store doesn’t carry it.
Yes! 🙂
These were good! My younger teen asked what was for dinner and didn’t believe me when I told him “chicken nuggets”. That doesn’t fit the healthy plan in the house. Ha ha! He looked me square in the eye and said, “LIES!!!” However…I liked these. Keeper!!
Has anyone frozen these? Any tips on reheating? My 3yo and my hubby and I LOVED these!
Would Xantham Gum work in place of Arrowroot Powder?
I finally got around to making this–even my picky husband loved it. Thanks so much!
Had anyone tried air-fried these instead of pan-frying?
Can you make these in the air fryer?
Sure you can 🙂
