Peppered Turkey Bites on Keto Bread.

Look no further for a nutritious holiday appetizer; these healthy and easy to make peppered turkey bites on keto-friendly bread is about to be your best appetizer for any occasion, especially this holiday. These little bites are scrumptious & satisfying.

The Ingredients You will Need.

The best thing about this peppered turkey bites recipe is that it uses only 7 ingredients, yes, S E V E N ingredients, in other words, less time to shop and cook, and more time to relax and enjoy. First is the healthy keto-friendly bread that I am currently loving from Sara Lee This bread is a low-fat food (hello), cholesterol-free food, contains no high fructose corn syrup, and 45 calories per slice! You surely cannot beat it.

Additionally, you will need some leftover Turkey meat; amazingly, you can make these turkey bites with white or dark turkey meat; I used turkey breast (white), also, bell peppers, onions, olive oil, Maggi cubes, and salt.

Peppered Turkey Bites (Nigerian Style).

I will unquestionably say that peppered meat recipes originated from Nigeria and typically very spicy. However, these peppered turkey bites are not spicy at all; I intentionally made them mild so that my kids (and guests) would equally enjoy them!
Also, you can make a peppered recipe with fish or any meat part. I have spicy peppered meat with beef tongue, which is finger-licking good! You should check it out here!
You can add some spicy peppers like Habanero or Jalapeños if you wish to make this recipe spicy. The bottom line is to make this recipe to suit your desire.

How to make Healthy Turkey Bites.

Whether you plan to use this turkey bites recipe as an appetizer, snack, or main meal, the step remains the same – very simple and straightforward.

Step one: Prep the Bread.

I cut each of the bread slices into four squares before baking them. Alternatively, you can choose to pan sear them as well (video direction coming soon)

Step Two: Prepare the Turkey.

First, gently remove the turkey skin; second, cut it up into cubes or squares. Finally, place on a baking sheet, and bake to crisp up.

Step Three: Prepare the Sauce.

Making this recipe includes making the “peppered” sauce, and just as the name suggests, we will use bell peppers and onions to make this incredibly delicious sauce that will transform this recipe.

These flavorful, fun, and fabulous turkey bread bites will leave you with an unforgettable experience. The best part about this recipe is that you can make it ahead; as long as you follow my instructions, you can make it up to 5 hours early, and it won’t get soggy.

On the other hand, you can prep the bread and peppered turkey separately days ahead and then put them together shortly before serving. To be honest, you will not be disappointed with the outcome of this dish either way.
