🦃 Fried Turkey Nuggets Recipe

🧂 Ingredients:

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

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

• 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 extra crunch)

• 2 eggs

• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Marinate the Turkey (Optional but recommended):

   • In a bowl, mix the turkey chunks with buttermilk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

   • Let it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to 2 hours to tenderize and flavor the meat.

2. Prepare the Breading Station:

   • In one bowl: beat the eggs.

   • In another bowl: mix flour and cornmeal (if using), along with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Coat the Nuggets:

   • Remove turkey from the marinade.

   • Dip each piece into the egg, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated. For extra crispiness, repeat (double-dip in egg and flour).

4. Heat Oil:

   • Pour oil into a deep skillet or pot (about 2 inches deep).

   • Heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer if possible.

5. Fry:

   • Fry nuggets in batches for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F / 74°C).

   • Don’t overcrowd the pan.

6. Drain:

   • Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

🍽 Serve with:

• Ranch, honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or spicy mayo

• Fries, coleslaw, or a salad
