Easy Turkey Fritters

I am really into fritters at the moment. I love mixing ingredients, and plopping them into a frying pan of hot oil, listening to them sizzle and pop. The smell is amazing as well. So here it is, my latest addition to my fritter family. This is a great recipe to make if you have a lot of leftover turkey from those holiday meals. 








Turkey Fritters

• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp. Coconut oil (melted) - you can use butter instead if you don't have coconut oil.
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1/4 c. flour
• 3/4 c. Panko bread crumbs
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt 
• 1 tsp. poultry seasoning or sage
• 1 Tbsp dried onion flakes - or half a sweet onion
• 1 carrot - shredded
• 1 1/2 c. leftover turkey or chicken
• 1/3 c. Canola oil for frying

Beat eggs, add coconut oil (or butter), milk, dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in onion, carrot, and turkey or chicken. Heat Canola oil in large frying pan, drop mixture from spoon, fry until brown on both sides and cooked through. You can serve with cranberry sauce or gravy. 


Makes about 6-8 fritters.

Cinnamon Orange Rolls

Cinnamon rolls have always been one of my favorite breakfast foods. There is nothing like waking up to the smell of cinnamon rolls, warm in the oven, just waiting to be glazed and eaten.

In this recipe, I take it one step further on the yummy chart, by adding a burst of orange flavor to these little bites of Heaven.




Rolls:

1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon

2 1/2 cups Bisquick Mix
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp orange zest
2/3 cup milk
3 Tbsp butter (softened)

Glaze:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbsp orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan. In a small bowl, mix the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon together, set aside.

In a medium bowl, add the Bisquick, 3 Tbsp sugar, orange zest, and milk. Stir until a nice soft dough forms. Sprinkle with additional Bisquick if the dough is too sticky.

Dust your counter-top with Bisquick, and turn your dough out onto it, then give it an additional dusting of Bisquick, and knead 10 times. Then with a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle that is roughly 15 x 9 inches. Spread the butter over the surface of the dough, then sprinkle with your cinnamon-sugar mix.

Roll up your dough tightly at the 15-inch side, seal by pinching the edges and ends together. Cut into 1 1/2-inch slices, and place the slices in your pan.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they're a nice golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. Glaze and serve.
