Ingredients

  • 2 turkey tenderloins about 1 1/2 pounds total
  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning crushed
  • 1/2 cup plain 0% Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F. Place a metal rack in a shallow baking pan and coat with cooking spray.
  • Cut turkey into 16 evenly-sized nuggets; set aside in a bowl.
  • Place egg in a small bowl and beat lightly. In another small bowl stir together the cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
  • Pour egg over turkey pieces, stirring to coat, then place pieces into a plastic zip-top bag. Pour cornmeal mixture into bag, close top, and shake to coat evenly.
  • Place nuggets on prepared rack. Lightly coat each nugget with cooking spray. Bake for 20 minutes or until turkey is golden and crispy (165° F).
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, honey, mustard, barbecue sauce, and salt. Serve nuggets with dipping sauce. Store any leftover nuggets in a freezer-safe bag and reheat in the oven.
