Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.

2. In a large bowl, stir together the onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Add the turkey and stir again until all the ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to over mix. PHASE 2: Add 2 tbsp. of flaxseed ground to the mixture.

3. Spray olive oil nonstick cooking spray onto a sheet pan or large baking dish. Make sure the pan is well coated.
