We never have as much turkey as we wish we did. We hunt or fish for all of our protein intake, so poultry (and white meat in general) is a relative rarity on our table. Of the birds we do harvest, one of them is set aside for Thanksgiving, and the rest gets rationed out for special occasions. This means we try to treat all our turkey dishes with a lot of thought and anticipation.
So, yeah, this is a fried turkey sandwich. But it’s a novel treat for us- the closest thing to fried chicken we’ll eat all year! We also rarely make sandwiches in an attempt to pretend we eat healthily, so this is even more of a luxury for us.
The turkey itself is breaded in panko and rice flour for an extra-crispy crunch. There’s no brine needed to keep these tenders moist and flavorful- they’re small enough that they fry up quickly and don’t dry out. The kimchi mayo and homemade slaw add a little pop of spice and bright acidity to counterbalance the richness of the fried turkey. We use our homemade kimchi for this recipe, but the store bought stuff will be just fine.
We have two little tricks we used in making this dish. The first is using popcorn kernels to determine when your oil is hot enough. We throw a couple kernels of unpopped corn into the oil as the pan is preheating. When the popcorn pops, your oil is hot enough to fry in.
The second trick is removing the tendon that runs through the turkey tender. Hold a paper towel in one hand and use it to grip the end of the tendon. Wrap your other hand around the tender to hold it in place. Rip the tendon off the meat and discard.
