Directions

01
In skillet over medium, heat 2 tsp (10 mL) oil. Add turkey and parsnip; heat until turkey is cooked through, breaking up meat as it cooks, about 10 minutes, or when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 F (75 C).
02
In large bowl, stir together oat flour, thyme, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. In separate bowl, whisk together milk and egg. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture and mix gently until everything is moist. Fold in cooked turkey mixture.
03
Return skillet to medium heat and add more oil if needed. Add 1/3 cup (80 mL) batter for each pancake and heat for 3 minutes per side, or until pancakes are set.
04
Meanwhile, in small saucepan or skillet over medium, heat 1 tsp (5 mL) oil. Add shallot and garlic; heat for 2 minutes. Place blueberries, honey, lemon zest, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in pan and bring to boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
