1.3 lb ground chicken or turkey (look for about 85% fat so that they come out juicy and not dry)
3 large cloves garlic pressed
3 green onions minced (plus more for topping if desired)
4 oz applesauce (see links in NOTES for AIP-compliant, corn-free applesauce)
1 Tb avocado oil, refined (plus more for greasing)
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp Himalayan salt
1/4 tsp each ground mace, ground cloves, ginger powder, dried sage, dried rosemary & dried thyme
1/4 cup cassava flour

Heat up your waffle iron to medium-high heat. (Link in NOTES to the ceramic iron I used.)
Gently mix all ingredients (except extra oil for greasing) in medium bowl until well combined. (I like to use a meat chopper tool for this step…it helps save my fingernails from getting meat underneath.)
Use a silicone brush to lightly grease the iron with a dab of oil.
Depending on the size of your iron, add 1/2 to 1/3 cup of meat mixture at a time to iron, spreading it out evenly with a silicone spatula.
Close iron, then cook about 7 minutes or until crisped and fully cooked through.
For AIP: Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired, or slather with a bit of No-Mess No-Egg Mayo (recipe in NOTES) and top with sliced raw veggies.
For Whole30: Slather with 100% berry preserves, almond butter or sunflower butter, or top with mayo and lettuce for a quick compliant sandwich.
