Bacon Turkey Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Method for Honey Mustard-Craberry Sauce: Mix cranberry sauce, dressing and mustard in 1-quart saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, just until melted and well blended; cool. Just before serving, sprinkle with chives. Serve sauce warm or cold.
• Make Honey Mustard-Cranberry Sauce. Mix turkey and honey mustard dressing in shallow bowl. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to marinate.
• Remove turkey from marinade; discard marinade. Wrap bacon piece around each turkey piece; secure with toothpick. Place on ungreased broiler pan rack.
• Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 8 to 12 minutes, turning once, until turkey is no longer pink in center and bacon begins to look crisp. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Puree the cranberry sauce, mayonnaise and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor until evenly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the bites: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Put the stuffing, turkey, Parmesan, rosemary and 1 egg in a medium bowl and mix well until the mixture is evenly moistened. Place the flour, remaining 2 eggs and the panko in 3 separate shallow bowls. Beat the eggs to break apart until 1 cohesive color.
• Shape 1 tablespoon of the turkey mixture into a ball. Press a piece of smoked mozzarella into the middle of the ball and reshape the mixture around the cheese. Bread the ball by rolling it first in the flour to coat, then the egg and lastly the panko. Repeat with the remaining turkey mixture and breading ingredients. Fry 4 to 5 or the balls at a time until deep golden brown and hot all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Serve hot alongside the dipping sauce.
