How to make turkey nuggets
To make turkey nuggets, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Oil for frying
Here's how to make turkey nuggets:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground turkey, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the ingredients are well combined.
2. Form the mixture into small nugget shapes, about 1-2 inches in size. You can use your hands or a cookie scoop to easily shape them.
3. Dip each nugget into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it completely.
4. Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat. You will need enough oil to fully submerge the nuggets. If shallow frying, use enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet.
5. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the nuggets in the oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. If using a deep fryer, cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
6. Remove the nuggets from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve the turkey nuggets hot with your favorite dipping sauces or as a side dish.
