For the Breadsticks

- 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 8 ounces almond flour
- 1 tbsp plain whey protein powder (OPTIONAL)
- 1/8 tsp xantham gum (OPTIONAL)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder (OPTIONAL)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg yolk. Set the bowl to the side.
- In a bowl add the mozzarella and cream cheese. Melt in the microwave for 90 seconds, stir halfway through to ensure even melting.
- Add the beaten eggs, seasoning, baking powder and almond flour and mix into the dough, making sure all ingredients are combined well.
- Place the dough in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. This helps firm it and reduces the stickiness.
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Shape the bread into a the shape of a turkey (see post for detailed instructions)
- Place the turkey bread in the oven bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden.
- Optional - While the bread is baked, prepare the garlic butter topping by melting the butter and stirring in the salt and garlic powder. Taste the mixture and add any additional salt or garlic powder to suit your tastes. When the bread is baked, brush the garlic butter over the turkey and sprinkle the dried herbs and Parmesan cheese, if desired
