Turkey & Sweet Potato Bites {with a twist}

It never fails. I am ALWAYS looking for new protein snacks to make that are still lean, easy to take on the go, and can hold up all week if I prep on them on Sunday.

These little crispy bites are more than a snack... they're like a hearty treat! Little ingredients but FULL of flavor i'm sure they will be a win in your home too :)

• 8 oz. extra lean ground turkey (look for 97% or 99% lean)
• 18 oz. of sweet potatoes (about 3 small)

• 2 tbsp. of coconut flour  {Click here for my favorite}
• 2 bags of Sea Salt Quest Protein Chips (I get mine from GNC & right now they're buy 3 get one FREE)
• 2 tbsp. low sodium chili powder
• 1 tbsp. minced garlic 
• Hot & Sweet Pepper Jelly optional (here is the brand that I use)
