Fried Turkey Nuggets

Fried Turkey Nuggets

EverydayCooked

Fried turkey nuggets are bite-sized pieces of processed poultry made from ground turkey meat that is breaded and deep-fried until golden. While leaner than beef-based nuggets, the frying process significantly increases saturated fat and sodium content compared to roasted turkey. These nuggets feature a crisp exterior with tender interior meat, offering concentrated protein but often containing additives for binding and flavor enhancement in commercial preparations.
