Preheat your oven to 400ºF/200ºC. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or coating it with 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the onion, bell pepper, almond flour, garlic powder, and salt. Add the turkey or chicken, and coconut aminos, and stir again until all the ingredients are combined.
