The baked turkey bites marinated with lemon and light bread crumbs are a simple and tasty meat dish.
Turkey meat is white and lean.
I used a boneless turkey thigh cut into bites, slices, or strips.
Alternatively, turkey breast.
I marinated the skinless turkey with lemon juice and a mix of herbs and spices for roasting.
Alternatively, white wine.
I breaded with whole grain breadcrumbs.
Do not forget to account for the breading in your total carbohydrate count for the meal.
Enjoy them plain or with a light sauce.

Preparation
I used a boneless turkey thigh cut into bites, slices, or strips.
Alternatively, turkey breast.
Deboning the turkey thigh is a task that requires sharp knives and skill.
If you want to cook the boneless turkey thigh, I recommend having the butcher perform the deboning at the time of purchase to get a thigh that is as intact as possible.
Alternatively, follow Roberto Liberati’s tutorial on how to debone a turkey.
Boneless turkey thigh
Buy the turkey thigh and ask the butcher to remove the skin and debone it.
Also ask to cut it into bites, slices, or strips.Non-boneless turkey thigh
Remove the skin.
Cut the meat into bites, slices, or strips free of cartilage and tendons [filaments] until the bone is clean.Nothing goes to waste: also marinate the pieces of meat with cartilage and tendons [filaments] and the bone; there is always someone at the table who enjoys cleaning them.
Transfer the turkey meat to a bowl or baking dish.
Season with:
• a mix of herbs and spices for roasting;
and massage the meat.Drizzle with lemon juice.
Alternatively, white wine.
Seal with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for one hour.
Remove the turkey bites from the fridge at least half an hour before cooking.
In a plate, mix:
• whole grain breadcrumbs;
• grated cheese;
• salt;
• pepper;
• parsley;
and mix.Moisten the turkey bites with the marinade.
Dip the turkey bites moistened with the marinade in the breading, ensuring it adheres well.
Briefly preheat the oven.
Bake at 350°F in a convection oven for 30 minutes + 1-2 minutes on grill mode.
Plate the dish.
Drizzle with a bit of olive oil.
Grind a little more pepper.
Serve with lemon slices.The baked turkey bites with light bread crumbs are ready.
Enjoy your meal!
