Turkey Bites

Turkey Bites

We finally had Sue’s family and grand children round on Friday and she got to meet her youngest grand son. We made a buffet for everybody as we had children, Vegetarians and Gluten allergy to cater for.

These were our take on Turkey Twizzers crossed with Chicken Nuggets. Intended for the younger folk we didn’t highly season them, but they went down really well all round.

Ingredients:-

Turkey Thigh meat, cut into strips
3 Eggs, beaten for an Egg wash
Plain Flour, Gluten free in our case
Salt & Pepper
Turmeric

Ex Butchers Note:- If you are working on a budget you can get a Turkey Thigh and Drummer for less than £5. Skin the Thigh and cut steaks at right angles to the bone. These can then be cut into strips and will be tender as you’ve cut through the long grain of the muscle.

Method:-

(1) Mix the Flour, Salt, Pepper and Turmeric to make your seasoned flour. The Termeric is just to give a bit of colour to the fried coating.
(2) Pre heat your fryer to 170c.
(3) Dredge the meat in batches in the seasoned flour.
(4) Dip in the Egg wash and then dredge in flour again.
(5) Fry in batches until they float and are golden brown.
(6) Drain on kitchen paper.
(7) Serve warm as part of a buffet or with chips etc. for a quick easy tea.

These remain crispy once they have cooled and are still good for a cold buffet to dip in sauces.

There is a reason behind this rather silly name. A while ago I found three tubs of Buffalo Mozzarella in the yellow sticker fridge for around 20p. Although they were just in date when I bought them the lonely remaining tub was somewhat suspect , date wise. But it was fine when we opened it.

There little point in a recipe here. But basically Sue hand pressed the burgers around a lump of Mozzarella, fried them gently and then finished them under a low heat in the grill. To add to the Pizza theme we had some discounted Chorizo slices. So layered up with Mexican Mayo & Garlic Mayo, mixed Salad leaves, Red Onion, sliced Tomato, sliced Gherkins, Burger dressed with Chorizo & melted Cheese - The Pizza Burger became a reality! The mixed Salad leaves were free (Thanks John) and effectively all we paid full price for was the minced Beef and Gluten free Bread Buns.

We served these beasties with hand cut chips and DIY Gluten free Onion Rings.
