Instructions:

- Finely chop the almonds using a food processor or a sharp knife.
- Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or food processor.
- Finely dice the onion.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not pre-shredded.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the diced turkey bacon until it becomes crispy. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped almonds, grated cauliflower, beaten eggs, Greek yogurt, diced onion, shredded cheddar cheese, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the cooked turkey bacon to the mixture and stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- Using your hands or a small spoon, scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a small ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture and place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and firm to the touch.

- Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or a savory snack.
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is finely chopped or riced to help the bites hold together better.
- Cook the turkey bacon until it's crispy for added texture and flavor.
- Use a mini muffin tin to shape the bites uniformly and bake them evenly.
- Allow the bites to cool slightly before removing them from the tin to prevent them from falling apart.
- Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings like paprika or cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick.
