Sticky and crispy Honey Garlic Turkey made fast and simple, with honey garlic sauce. Beautiful!
The sauce is so good you’ll want to use it as a topping on many recipes. This honey garlic turkey recipe is also easy to make.
THIS IS A SCHEDULED POST. This is a sponsored post with Turkey Farmers of Canada. All ideas and opinions are my own.
PROTEIN:
Most of the world is embracing fitness and healthy living, and turkey is an amazing protein for everyone doing so. It’s lean, versatile and can be flexed into all of your favourite dishes
THINK TURKEY:
I have partnered with Canadian Turkey to make some amazing dishes this year. I love the fact that when you eat Canadian turkey, you’re supporting Canadian turkey farmers.
Turkey takes on flavours well across all cuisines – whether you’re cooking Mexican, Indian, Moroccan, Thai and more, there’s a place for turkey on your plate. This dish goes amazingly well with simple jasmine rice!
COOKING TURKEY:
I have mentioned this in my other turkey recipe as well but felt this might be useful.
I have had questions on cooking turkey and when it is done. The best way is to use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey, without touching the bone.
A whole unstuffed turkey is cooked at 170F (77C)
Ground turkey (Burgers, cutlets, meatballs, sausages) at 165F
Cuts (thigh, wings, and breast legs) at 165F again.
- FOR THE HONEY GARLIC SAUCE
- • 3 cloves garlic, minced
- • ½-cup honey, or more, to taste
- • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- • 1-tablespoon cornstarch
- • ¼-cup water
- FOR THE TURKEY
- • 1 cup all-purpose flour
- • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- • ½ teaspoon paprika
- • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- • 1 large egg, beaten
- • 1 pound boneless, skinless Turkey breasts, cut into 3 inch cubes
- • 2 teaspoon Kosher salt to taste
- • 1 cup vegetable oil
- • 1 tbsp coriander leaves chopped finely
- • 1 tbsp crushed peanuts
- In a bowl, mix the ingredients under the honey garlic sauce.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, oregano, paprika, black pepper, eggs, turkey breast and salt. Set aside for 3-4 minutes
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Working in batches, add half of marinated turkey, and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 6 minutes on each side. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add the honey garlic sauce on top and mix well. Garnish with coriander leaves and crushed peanuts.
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I just forwarded it to my daughter and I will be having it this weekend! How can something that looks so awesome be so easy? I really can’t wait! I know for sure that this is going to be a favorite for years to come! Thanks again! 🌈🌈🌈
These are amazing! I never thought I’d find a way I’d like cooking turkey bar roasting it. I’m so delighted to have this recipe now.
They cooked in 2 batches in a large frying pan. By the time the 2nd batch was done my son and i were most of the way through the first. Unbelievably Moreish. Certainly by the time the rest of dinner hit the table we were all in to the 2nd batch. This never happens but resistance was futile.
Have to say I didn’t end up adding the cornflour and pouring. We did a test dip with that first bite and it was so good as a dipper that I’ll go that way in future. They were absolutely the highlight of the meal.
Crikey, I love these things. Thank you very much for sharing.
