Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
- 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (100% pure pumpkin)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Combine the ground chicken, pumpkin purée, rolled oats, egg, and parsley in a spacious mixing bowl until well incorporated.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while mixing the ingredients.
