Fried Turkey Chops Video-Recipe
Serving: 4 portions
Equipment
- Large skillet non-stick pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups panko or homemade breadcrumbs
- ½ tablespoon salt
- ¼ tablespoon black pepper (freshly-cracked, or ground)
- 1 tablespoon garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 8 slices turkey legs thawed and clean of small bones (see notes)
- 4 eggs (medium), whisked
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or ghee (clarified butter) room temperature
Instructions
1. Making breadcrumbs
- In a large mixing bowl, combine panko, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder and stir to combine.
2. Breading
- Cover the turkey chops with flour and shake off the excess. Drench each turkey chop in the egg (use tongs to dip them into the egg), them cover each with the breadcrumbs.Set them aside.
3. Frying
- Heat the oil in a skillet or pan over medium heat, about 350°F [177°C].
4. Frying the chops
- Place 2 or 3 chops at a time (don't crowd them) and cook until they turn golden brown on the cooking side, flip and cook the other side (4 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature measures 165 °F [74 ºC]). Remove the turkey from the pan and place it on paper towels to remove excess fat. Repeat the process with the remaining butter and chops until they are all cooked.
5. Serving
- Serve the turkey as soon as possible so the crust stays crispy.See serving suggestions below the recipe.
Cook's notes
Once you thawed the chops, press on them with your fingers to find and remove any pieces of bone or cartilage.
