Ingredients  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless turkey breast filets

Dredging Mixture

  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ¾ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • â…› tsp onion powder

Egg Mixture

  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup buttermilk or substitute any milk

Coating

  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs seasoned, fine
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • â…› tsp black pepper

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup clear honey
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper

Sweet and Sour Sauce

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 5 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium

Instructions

  • Preheat Chefman Air Fryer to 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut turkey breast into “nuggets”, roughly half inch thick and 1.5-2 inches long. (I usually get about 25-30 nuggets per turkey breast filet)

Dredging

  • Combine flour, paprika, salt, garlic powder, pepper and onion powder in a large zip top bag.
  • Add raw turkey nuggets. Seal the bag and turn and toss until all are coated.

Coating the nuggets

  • Gather two medium but shallow dishes.
  • In one dish, whisk together egg and milk.
  • In the other dish, stir together breadcrumbs, flour, salt and pepper.
  • Working one by one, remove turkey nuggets from bag and dip each in egg mixture, then coat in bread crumb mixture. Place on a large plate until all are coated and ready to cook.
  • Place 8-10 nuggets on rack in Air Fryer and spray with non-stick or oil spray. Set the timer for 8 minutes at 400 degrees F. Flip nuggets at the 4-minute mark and spray the other side with non stick spray before continuing to cook.
  • Turkey Nuggets are done when a meat thermometer reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce

  • Whisk together mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Sweet and Sour Sauce:

  • Whisk together sugar, vinegar, ketchup, corn starch and soy sauce in a medium skillet.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
