Ingredients

• 1 pound Turkey breast
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Slice the turkey breast into thin strips, about 3/4 inch wide, and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix with the milk until smooth.

Step 4

In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and paprika.

Step 5

Dredge each turkey strip in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Test by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Step 7

Working in batches, fry the breaded turkey strips for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

While the turkey strips cool slightly, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Serve the turkey strips warm with the maple mustard dipping sauce on the side.
