Chicken Nuggets and Flaxseed meal update

Below  is the old post I posted in June. Just wanted to let you know that I tried it last night without the flax-seed meal and used flour instead.  The flax-seed meal  works much better than the flour because the flax-seed meal holds the pureed vegetable to the meat much better than flour. My little guy loves them with the flax-seed meal. He would hardly touch them last night with the flour and I think it was b/c he could taste the broccoli more. LOL!!! Just an update for you guys.

I am new to this group and just bought his cookbook this weekend.  I was wanting to make the chicken nuggets from the cookbook tonight but I have a question about the flaxseed meal.  Do you think I could substitute the flaxseed meal with whole weat flour? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

good to know, i'm going to have to pick up some flaxseed, it sounds like people are using it in everything.

I made the nuggets last night using turkey cutlets.  I didn't have any flaxseed either, so I added about 1/4 cup of wheat germ to the breading mixture instead.  It turned out well and gave that crisper breading texture I'll bet the flaxseed helps with.

I made the chicken nuggets last night and baked them instead. You could taste the broccoli a little more when baked, but my little one ate them anyway.

I made these with cauliflower puree and DD ate them up!  The pan frying was a bit messy and tedious for me, has anyone tried baking them?
