Garlic coated turkey bites with zucchini salad

The 3 bites of pasta salad and 8 pieces of strawberries I had for lunch have taken their toll and in the middle of the afternoon I felt the urge to cook something delicious. Good thing I bought a couple of beautiful zucchinis this morning, and I had turkey breast in the freezer. Now the only thing I have to do is wait for the rain which these days often comes at the end of the day :)

Ingredients for the turkey bites
  • turkey breast
  • garlic granule
  • a little bit of white pepper
  • a bit of cinnamon
  • eggs, flour and bread crumbs for the coating
  • salt

Cut the turkey breast in bite-sized pieces. Mix the spices in a bowl and add one half of it to the flour, the other half to the crumbs. Sprinkle salt on the turkey bits and coat them first with the flour, then the eggs and finally the crumbs. Put the pieces on a baking tin filled with baking paper. Pour a little bit of oil onto the turkey, it's even better if you oil the paper too before putting the turkey on it. Cook them in the oven at 200 deg Celsius until they become golden. When the upper side is done turn them over so that the lower parts get crispy too.

Ingredients for the salad
  • 2 zucchinis
  • 2 dl of plain yogurt
  • 2 tbl spoons of sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon of madras curry powder
  • a teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of curry powder
  • salt
Grate the zucchinis and cook them in a pan, but you just want to give it a bit of heat, they don't need to cook entirely. Meanwhile mix the ingredients of the dressing and when the zucchini is ready add them to the dressing. Let it cool to room temepratue at least, but you can put it in the fridge to be even cooler.
