Turkey Fries

You’ve heard of French fries, but have you ever had Turkey Fries? Turkey Fries are made with sliced turkey, spices, and a breading made from flour and breadcrumbs. They are then fried until golden brown and crispy. You can enjoy Turkey Fries as is, or dip them in your favorite sauce. Serve them as a side dish or an appetizer at your next party. Your guests will be sure to gobble them up!

Why make Turkey Fries?

They’re incredibly easy to make! You don’t need any special equipment, Just a cast iron skillet or a large frying pan.

Making your own Turkey Fries is also a great way to save money. Buying pre-made fries can be expensive, and they’re often not as fresh as you’d like them to be. When you make your own, you know they’ll be crispy and delicious.

These fries also have tonnes of lean protein, so it can be a great meat meal idea for those who are looking for alternatives to regular chicken or turkey meat. So go ahead and add these Turkey Fries to your menu!

Ingredients

• Turkey breast: I used turkey because it is a healthier alternative to red meat, but you can use chicken if you prefer. Turkey breast makes these taste great.
• All-purpose flour: This is used as a base for the breading.
• Bread crumbs: These add a nice crispy texture to the outside of the fry.
• Dried oregano: This is my favorite herb to use in frying recipes. So simple and adds a lot of flavor.
• Salt: This is used to season the breading.
• Eggs: These are used to bind the breading to the turkey.
• Frying oil: This is used for frying. You can use vegetable oil.

Instructions

• In a shallow dish, combine flour, breadcrumbs, oregano, and salt.

• In another shallow dish, beat eggs.

• Dip turkey slices in the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture.

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

• Add coated turkey slices to the hot oil and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

• Drain on paper towels and serve immediately!

Ingredient substitutions

If you don’t have turkey breast, you can use chicken breast instead.

For a gluten-free version of this recipe, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.

To make these fries extra crispy, you can double bread them by dipping the coated turkey slices in the egg mixture a second time before adding them to the hot oil.

Recipe tips

• For a fun twist, try adding some shredded cheese to the turkey mixture. Then, bake the fries as directed. Yum!

• Leftover Turkey Fries can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or in a skillet on the stovetop.
