1.5 lbs (650 g) Granny's turkey breast, cut into strips ¾ inch (1.5 cm) thick by 4 inches (10 cm) long
2 cups (500 ml) buttermilk
1/2 cups (125 ml) flour
2 cups (500 ml) panko crumbs
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) garlic powder
1 tbsp (15 ml) paprika
1 tsp (5 ml) mustard powder
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) white pepper
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
Honey Dill Sauce
1/2 cup (125 ml) Greek-style yogurt
2 tbsp (30 ml) mayonnaise
1 tbsp (15 ml) honey
1 tbsp (15 ml) dill, fresh chopped or dried
Method
Preheat oven to 425°F (225°C) or prepare air fryer for use.
Lightly season turkey strips with salt and pepper, if not already seasoned.
Soak turkey strips in 1 cup buttermilk for 1 hour or more and then drain.
Mix panko crumbs with olive oil, garlic, paprika, mustard, pepper and salt. Add flour to a separate bowl and remaining cup of buttermilk to another.
Taking a few turkey strips at a time, first dredge them in flour, then dip them in buttermilk and roll them in the panko mixture until they are well coated.
Place them flat on a baking sheet and bake them for 20 minutes, flipping once after 10 minutes. If using an air fryer cook them for 12-14 minutes at 400°F (200°C), flipping once.
Combine all sauce ingredients and serve with Crispy Buttermilk Turkey Fingers.
