Ingredients
  

  • 0.45 lb ground turkey
  • 1.0 cup blue cornmeal
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1.0 tsp garlic powder
  • 1.0 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1.0 whole egg, beaten
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.0 cup Oil for frying
  • 0.0 pieces Fresh cilantro
  • 0.0 pieces lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Turkey Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
  • Form the Chips Base: In a separate bowl, combine the blue cornmeal and flour. Gradually add the beaten egg and enough water to form a pliable dough. Mix until the dough releases from the side of the bowl but is not sticky.
  • Combine Turkey and Chip Dough: Gently fold the seasoned turkey into the blue corn dough. If using, add the shredded cheddar cheese at this stage. Mix until fully combined.
  • Shape the Chips: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 0.125 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into desired chip shapes.
  • Fry the Chips: Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), carefully add the cut-out chips in small batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • Drain and Cool: Once fried, transfer the chips onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool for a few minutes for added crunch.
  • Garnish and Serve: Serve your Tree Moonlight Turkey Blue Corn Chips warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. These can be enjoyed as a snack or paired with your favorite dip, like guacamole or salsa.
