Air Fryer Turkey Boobs

🦃 Air Fryer Turkey Nuggets Recipe

🧂 Ingredients:

(Same as your fried version — with a few small tweaks)

• 1 lb turkey breast (cut into nugget-sized pieces)

• 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar/lemon juice)

• 1 tsp salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp paprika (optional)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• ½ cup cornmeal (optional, for crunch)

• 2 eggs

• Cooking spray (or a little oil in a spray bottle)

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Marinate the Turkey (Recommended):

   • Combine turkey, buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

   • Cover and marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours.

2. Set Up Breading Station:

   • Bowl 1: Beat the eggs.

   • Bowl 2: Mix flour and cornmeal with a little salt and pepper.

3. Coat the Nuggets:

   • Remove turkey from marinade.

   • Dip each piece in the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture.

   • For extra crispiness, repeat the egg + flour step (double dip).

4. Preheat Air Fryer:

   • Preheat to 375°F (190°C) for about 3–5 minutes.

5. Air Fry the Nuggets:

   • Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray.

   • Arrange nuggets in a single layer (don’t overcrowd).

   • Spray tops of nuggets with cooking spray.

   • Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy. Internal temp should reach 165°F (74°C).

6. Serve:

   • Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

   • Pair with your favorite dipping sauce.

✅ Tips:

• Use panko breadcrumbs instead of flour for a crunchier texture, if desired.

• Don’t skip the oil spray — it helps browning and crispiness.

• For spicy nuggets, add cayenne or hot sauce to the marinade or flour.
