Makes 8 to 10 servings • Deep-fryer
8 to 10 turkey tenders (the number can vary according to your family needs)
Salt and black pepper
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
Peanut or canola oil, for frying
Duck Commander Cajun Seasoning (mild or zesty) or other Cajun seasoning (optional)
1. Cut the turkey tenders crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide strips. Salt and pepper the turkey strips and roll them in flour.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
3. Dip the turkey strips in the egg mixture to coat, then immediately roll them again in fresh flour. (This will make the crust stick to the meat, locking in moisture.)
4. Fill the deep-fryer with oil according to the manufacturer’s directions and heat it to 375°F.
5. Fry strips until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
6. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. If you like a spicier taste, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning immediately after cooking.
