Ingredients
1cupall-purpose flour
1cuprice flour
1/2tspteaspoon salt
1/4teaspoonwhite pepper
1large egglightly beaten
2 1/4cupscold beer or soda waterclub soda
3 to 4poundsof thick cut sliced leftover turkey
Instructions
Combine dry ingredients. Add the egg and soda water or beer and whisk together just until the liquid is incorporated. Small lumps in the batter are not a problem.
Slice leftover roast turkey into thick slices.
Dip the pieces into plain flour and then into the batter and carefully drop them into canola oil filled deep fryer that has been preheated to 375 degrees F.
Fry for a few minutes, just until golden brown on both sides.
Drain on a wire rack placed over a cookie sheet. Serve immediately.
If you have to fry the turkey in more than one batch at a time, hold the fried pieces in a 200 degree F oven on the draining rack to provide air circulation all the way around the fried turkey pieces to prevent it from getting soggy.
