Ingredients
  

  • 1.0 lb turkey breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1.0 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup cornstarch
  • 1.0 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1.0 tsp garlic powder
  • 1.0 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.25 cup buttermilk
  • 1.0 large egg
  • 0.5 cup honey
  • 2.0 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.0 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 0.0 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 0.0 cup fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the Turkey: In a bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Add turkey pieces, mix well to coat, and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Prepare the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. In another bowl, mix buttermilk and egg until combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.
  • Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or deep frying pan, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the Turkey: Remove turkey pieces from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Dip each piece into the batter, coating it thoroughly, and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
  • Enjoy: For an extra touch, drizzle with additional honey before serving. Enjoy your Finger-Lickin' Sweet Frittered Turkey with some homemade dipping sauce or your favorite sides!
