Ingredients

• 300 g mixed chicken offal (hearts, livers, gizzards), cleaned and trimmed
• 200 g mixed turkey offal (hearts, livers, gizzards), cleaned and trimmed
• 50 g onion, quartered
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 large egg
• 50 g breadcrumbs (for mixture)
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp dried oregano
• 0.5 tsp dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• 0.5 tsp ground ginger
• 0.5 tsp white pepper
• 0.5 tsp celery salt
• 100 g plain flour (for dredging)
• 2 large eggs, beaten (for egg wash)
• 150 g breadcrumbs (for coating)
• 1-1.5 L vegetable oil, for deep frying (external)

Instructions

1. Thoroughly clean and trim all chicken and turkey offal, removing any tough membranes or excess fat. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Add onion and garlic to the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 7. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
3. Add the cleaned chicken and turkey offal to the mixing bowl. Blend 60 sec / Speed 9 until a fine paste is formed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
4. Add the large egg and 50 g breadcrumbs (for mixture) to the bowl. Add all 11 herbs and spices (salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, ground ginger, white pepper, celery salt).
5. Mix 20 sec / Speed 5 until all ingredients are well combined into a uniform paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
6. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up, which will make shaping easier.
7. Set up a breading station: Place the 100 g plain flour in a shallow dish, the 2 beaten eggs in another shallow dish, and the 150 g breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
8. Using wet hands, take small portions of the chilled offal mixture and shape them into desired nugget forms (approximately 20-25 nuggets).
9. Dredge each nugget first in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
10. Heat 1-1.5 L vegetable oil in a deep pot or deep fryer to 170-175°C (340-350°F). Do NOT use the Thermomix for deep frying.
11. Carefully place nuggets in the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
12. Remove fried nuggets with a slotted spoon or the simmering basket and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
13. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
