Description

My mother found this recipe about 20 years ago. A great find! This is a great recipe for leftover turkey or chicken. You can even use tuna or salmon. My kids LOVE it, especially paired with leftover mashed potato cakes.

Ingredients
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 cups shredded cooked turkey
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
Directions
  1. 1. Stir water and baking powder together in a bowl (mixture should foam). Mix turkey, flour, egg, salt, and black pepper into water and baking powder. Form mixture into bite-size nuggets.
  2. 2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the nuggets in the hot vegetable oil until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes per side.
