Fried Turkey Chops Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Turkey Chops

   Pat the turkey chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal with a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Turkey Chops

   Dredge each turkey chop in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the cornmeal mixture. Press the cornmeal onto the turkey chop to ensure a good coating.

4. 4

   Fry the Turkey Chops

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded turkey chops in the skillet. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

5. 5

   Drain and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the turkey chops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
