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.

Chorizo & King Prawn Pizza recipe

We had half a stick of Chorizo in the fridge, a tub of cubed Yellow Sticker Cheese at 20p and a bit of time on our hands. So we made another version of Pizza in a giant Gluten free Yorkshire pudding.

It’s a favourite ‘go-to’ recipe here for clearing bits and bobs from the fridge. Basically if you have a Tomato base sauce and some Cheese you can throw all sorts of wonders between them. It’s never failed us yet!

For the base:-

Ingredients:-

100g Cornflour
150ml Milk
3 eggs
Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper

Method:-

(1) Pre-heat the oven to 220c, add oil or lard to a large tray and place in the oven.
(2) Whisk all the ingredients for the batter several time to get as much air into it as possible.
(3) When the oil / lard is smoking quickly pour your batter mix in and return to the oven.
(4) Reduce the heat to 180c.
(6) Cook for 30 to 35 minutes until the Yorkshire Pudding has risen and is lightly browned. Don’t over cook at you will be returning to the the oven to melt the Cheese.
(7) Add the Tomato Base sauce and then your filling ingredients.
(8) Add grated Cheese to the top and return to the oven until the Cheese has malted and is starting to brown slightly.

These things are huge. But the remaining half made great snacks for the following day. OK to be fair this actually fed both of us for two days!
