In a large mixing bowl combine the egg, Keto Chow, basil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add cooled celery, onion, garlic, and rosemary.
Then add the ground turkey and knead it with the egg mixture. Finally add the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses and mix well. Allow the mixture to sit about 5 minutes to help hold together.
