Fried Turkey Thighs with Alfredo Noodles
Turkey season is upon us. Many hunters leave behind the turkey legs. Instead cut the thigh meat into strips and fry them to make a delicious dinner!
Ingredients
Frying the Meat
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp cream or milk
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 3½-4 lbs turkey thighs cut into strips
Boiling the Noodles
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- 12 oz box fettuccine or linguine noodles
My Homemade Alfredo or a 16 oz jar of Alfredo Sauce
Instructions
- Place a large frying pan over medium heat and cover the bottom of the pan with grease or oil.
- In a bowl, combine 2 eggs and 1 tbsp cream or milk
- In a separate bowl combine 1 cup flour, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper
- Using a fork, evenly coat 3½-4 lbs turkey thighs in egg wash
- Once covered transfer to the flour mixture and evenly coat
- Place the now flour coated thighs in the hot grease, then flip once the bottoms are browned. You may need to flip every 5 minutes after both sides are browned until internal temperature reaches 165℉, this will vary depending on how thick you cut your thigh strips.
- While the thighs are coming to temperature follow the instructions for your 12 oz box fettuccine or linguine noodles. I like to add 1 tbsp olive oil and ½ tsp salt to the water while it comes to a boil before adding the noodles.
- If you are making the alfredo sauce from scratch click HERE to get my favorite homemade recipe that I have perfected! If using a premade alfredo sauce you can add it to your noodles once they are finished cooking.
- After all your chicken thighs have reached an internal temperature of 165℉, they are ready to serve on top of your noodles.
- Garnish with tomatoes and basil leaves if you'd like! Enjoy!!
Notes
- This recipe can substitute any other meat. This is our families chicken alfredo recipe and I just replaced the chicken with the turkey thighs.
- Our homemade alfredo sauce is worth the time! My kids devour this meal and ask for extra sauce! But if you're in a hurry the premade stuff is ok.
- If using meat that you have to debone yourself then save those bones and make bone broth with them. My favorite recipe will be coming soon! It is my family's favorite recipe! My kids love this home made bone broth!
