Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups Cooked turkey leg meat, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Large egg, beaten
  • 1 tsp Poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil for baking/frying
  • 12 Pretzel sticks optional, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine shredded turkey, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined.
  2. Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a small, drumstick-like shape. If desired, insert a pretzel stick into one end to resemble a bone.
Cooking
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the shaped turkey treats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through, flipping halfway. Alternatively, pan-fry in a little oil until golden.
  3. Serve hot as a fun appetizer or snack.
