How to cook Turkey Fingers with Maple-Mustard Sauce
Ingredients
For the Turkey Fingers:
- 1 pound turkey breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking oil (for frying)
For the Maple-Mustard Sauce:
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
1. Prepare the Turkey Fingers:
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the beaten eggs in a separate shallow dish.
- In another shallow dish, add the breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each turkey strip in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured turkey strips into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Coat the strips with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
2. Cook the Turkey Fingers:
- In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of cooking oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the turkey strips in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the turkey fingers for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked turkey fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
3. Make the Maple-Mustard Sauce:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and well combined.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the turkey fingers on a serving platter.
- Serve with the maple-mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips
- For a healthier option, you can bake the turkey fingers at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture for a spicy kick.
- The maple-mustard sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
