Looking for a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried turkey nuggets? Look no further! In this recipe, we'll show you how to make flavorful Air Fryer Turkey Nuggets that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The best part?

Pair these mouthwatering nuggets with two delectable dipping sauces - a tangy Honey Mustard Sauce and a savory Sweet and Sour Sauce - and you've got a winning meal that everyone will love.

Ingredients:

1 lb turkey breast filet (boneless, skinless)

Dredging Mixture:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder

Egg Mixture:

1 egg
1/4 cup buttermilk (or substitute any milk)
Coating:
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs (fine)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:

1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/4 cup honey (clear)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Preheat the Chefman Air Fryer for 10 minutes at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Chop the turkey breast into "nuggets" about half an inch thick and 1.5-2 inches long. You should get around 25-30 nuggets from one turkey breast filet.
In a large zip-top bag, combine flour, paprika, salt, garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder. Add the turkey nuggets to the bag, seal it, and toss until the nuggets are coated evenly.
In two medium yet shallow bowls, set up the dredging station. Whisk together the egg and buttermilk in one bowl. In the other bowl, combine bread crumbs, flour, salt, and pepper.
Take each turkey nugget from the bag, dip it into the egg mixture, and then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated nuggets on a large platter until they are all ready for cooking.
Spray 8-10 nuggets with non-stick cooking spray or oil spray, and place them on the rack in the Air Fryer.
Preheat the Air Fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and set the timer for 8 minutes. At the four-minute mark, flip the nuggets and coat the opposite side with nonstick spray before continuing to cook.
The Turkey Nuggets are done when their internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) as measured with a meat thermometer.

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce:

In a mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and apple cider vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients for Ground Turkey Meat Loaf

Meatloaf

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tablespoon whole milk (use bone broth for the Paleo option)

1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley

1-1/2 tablespoons good quality ketchup (use Paleo-compliant ketchup made with pure maple syrup for the Paleo option)

2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

1/3 cup breadcrumbs (use nut meal for the Paleo option)

1/2 pound ground beef

1/2 pound ground dark turkey meat

1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Use olive oil for the basket and tack of air fryer

1 medium carrot, shredded (approximately 1/2 cup

Glaze

1/4 cup ketchup (use Paleo-compliant ketchup made with pure maple syrup for the Paleo option)

1 small celery stick, finely chopped

2 scallions, white and green parts, minced or thinly sliced

1 small garlic clove, minced

3 tablespoons Dijon or yellow mustard

4 teaspoons pure maple syrup

 

Directions Ground Turkey Meat Loaf

In a large mixing dish, whisk together the beaten egg, milk, and olive oil. Properly bread with breadcrumbs.

Add the ground beef, ground turkey, shredded carrot, chopped celery, minced scallions, minced garlic, parsley, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the mixing dish. Mix all the ingredients together using your hands until thoroughly blended.

Preheat the air fryer to 370°F, without the basket and rack of the air fryer.

Rub olive oil over the rack or basket to prevent sticking. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf or log that will fit into your air fryer. Place the meatloaf onto the rack or in the basket for cooking.

Cook the meatloaf in the air fryer at 370°F for 25 minutes. Use a digital meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, aiming for 155°F at the center. Adjust the cooking time if needed.

While the meatloaf is cooking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the ketchup, mustard, and maple syrup until the mixture begins to boil. Reduce the heat to low and keep the glaze warm until ready to use. Add a little water if the glaze becomes too thick.

Once the meatloaf reaches 155°F, brush the top and sides with a generous amount of glaze. Reserve any remaining glaze for meatloaf sandwiches, if desired.

Reset the air fryer to 370°F and cook the meatloaf for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Gently transfer the cooked meatloaf to a cutting board and drape it loosely with foil, allowing it to rest for a delightful 10 minutes before slicing. Cut the meatloaf into thin slices, approximately 3/4-inch thick.

Serve the meatloaf with your choice of gravy and mashed potatoes.

Ingredients:

 

•             1 pound ground turkey

•             1 green bell pepper, diced

•             1/2 cup diced yellow onion

•             1-2 teaspoons minced garlic

•             1 teaspoon taco seasoning

•             3 tablespoons tomato paste

•             2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

•             1/2 teaspoon sugar

•             1/8 cup diced cilantro

•             Corn or flour tortillas

 

Serving Suggestions:

 

•             Diced cilantro

•             Scallions

•             Salsa

•             Sour cream

 

Method:

 

In a large frying pan, cook ground turkey, green bell pepper, diced onion, and minced garlic over medium-high heat until the turkey is browned and the vegetables are softened.

Remove the turkey and veggies from the heat and transfer them to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add taco seasoning, water, sliced onions, diced cilantro, and shredded cheese to the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

To prepare the homemade red chilli sauce, heat vegetable oil in a small pan. Enhance the depth of flavours by incorporating tomato paste, a perfect blend of taco seasoning, and a hint of minced garlic into the mix. Cook for 1 minute over low-medium heat. Then, add water and granulated sugar. Bring to a low boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Spoon about 1/2 cup of the turkey filling into the center of each tortilla and fold them up. Place the enchiladas seam-side down on your air fryer basket, baking pan, or a sheet of foil.

Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. If you have an air fryer oven, set the temperature to 350 degrees F on the air fryer setting and cook for 5-7 minutes. If you have an air fryer basket, place the baking pan in the basket or on the lowest tray level and cook for 5-7 minutes.

After 5-7 minutes, return the enchiladas to the air fryer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.

Simple Thanksgiving Dinner

Pare Down the Stress, Savour the Flavours

 

Introduction

 

Thanksgiving is a special occasion where friends and family gather together to express gratitude and enjoy a delicious meal. If you're looking for a simple recipe for Thanksgiving dinner that will impress your guests without overwhelming you in the kitchen, you've come to the right place. In this article, we will guide you through an easy-to-follow recipe that combines traditional flavours with a modern twist, ensuring a memorable and satisfying Thanksgiving feast.

 

Ingredients

 

To begin our simple Thanksgiving dinner recipe, gather the following ingredients:

 

- One whole turkey (12-14 pounds)

- Stuffing mix

- Assorted vegetables (carrots, Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes)

- Potatoes for mashed potatoes

- Butter and milk for mashed potatoes

- Flour and chicken broth for gravy

- Dinner rolls

- Cranberries and sugar for cranberry sauce

- Additional dessert ingredients of your choice (e.g., pumpkin pie)

 

Preparing the Turkey

 

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). Rinse the turkey with cold water, pat it dry with paper towels, and place it on a roasting rack in a large roasting pan. Brush the turkey with melted butter, season it with salt and pepper, and cover it with foil. Roast the turkey for the recommended cooking time based on its weight.

 

Making the Stuffing

 

Prepare the stuffing according to the instructions on the package. You can customize it by adding sautéed onions, celery, and herbs for extra flavour. Once the stuffing is ready, fill the cavity of the turkey with it. Alternatively, you can bake the stuffing separately in a casserole dish.

 

Roasting the Vegetables

 

Wash and chop the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

 

Whipping up the Mashed Potatoes

 

Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter and milk, and mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 

Preparing the Gravy

 

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until it forms a smooth paste. Slowly add chicken broth, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Simmer for a few minutes until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

 

Baking the Dinner Rolls

 

Follow the instructions on the package of the dinner rolls for baking. Usually, it involves preheating the oven and placing the rolls on a baking sheet. Bake until they are golden brown and serve them warm.

 

Creating a Cranberry Sauce

 

In a saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens. You can adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more sugar if needed.

 

Assembling the Thanksgiving Table

 

Once the turkey is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. Arrange slices of turkey on a serving platter. Add a scoop of stuffing, a portion of mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a dollop of cranberry sauce. Drizzle the homemade gravy over the turkey and serve.

 

Serving Dessert

 

After enjoying the savory feast, it's time for dessert! Whether you choose to make a classic pumpkin pie, apple pie, or any other sweet treat, present it with a flourish. Serve slices of pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful ending to the meal.

 

Drinks to Accompany the Meal

 

To complement your Thanksgiving dinner, offer a selection of beverages that cater to different preferences. Some popular options include sparkling cider, red or white wine, cranberry punch, or a signature holiday cocktail. Make sure to have non-alcoholic choices available for those who prefer them.

 

Setting the Thanksgiving Table

 

Creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for your Thanksgiving dinner is essential. Set the table with seasonal decorations, such as a centrepiece made of autumn leaves, candles, and place cards. Use fall-themed table linens and arrange plates, utensils, and glasses for each guest.

 

Tips for a Stress-Free Thanksgiving

 

Hosting Thanksgiving can be a joyful experience when you plan ahead and stay organized. Here are a few tips to help make your day stress-free:

 

- Prepare dishes in advance where possible.

- Delegate tasks to family members or guests.

- Create a timeline to ensure everything is cooked and ready on time.

- Set up a self-serve beverage station to ease the workload.

- Don't forget to take breaks and enjoy the company of your loved ones.

 

Conclusion

 

Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude and gathering. With this simple recipe for Thanksgiving dinner, you can create a delicious and memorable feast that will leave your guests impressed. From the perfectly roasted turkey to the flavorful sides and desserts, every element of this meal will contribute to a festive and satisfying celebration of thanks.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Can I use a different type of meat instead of turkey for Thanksgiving?

Absolutely! While turkey is traditional, you can explore other options like roasted chicken, ham, or even a vegetarian centrepiece. Choose a protein that suits your taste and dietary preferences.

 

Can I make the mashed potatoes ahead of time?

Yes, you can! Prepare the mashed potatoes earlier in the day and keep them warm in a slow cooker or a covered dish in the oven at a low temperature. Add a little extra butter or milk before serving to freshen them up.

 

How long should I let the turkey rest before carving?

Allow the turkey to rest for 15-20 minutes after removing it from the oven. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moister and more flavorful bird.

 

Can I freeze the leftover turkey?

Yes, you can freeze the leftover turkey for future use. Slice or shred the meat, place it in airtight containers or freezer bags and store them in the freezer. Thaw and use within three months for the best quality.

 

Can I substitute canned cranberry sauce for homemade?

Certainly! If you prefer the convenience of canned cranberry sauce, feel free to use it instead of making it homemade. Simply open the can, slice the cranberry sauce, and serve it alongside your Thanksgiving meal.
