I grind up a ton of dried soybeans to make a chunky-grained soy flour with my awesome Cuisenart food processor, then with a good cup of this, seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then I beat one egg, and I toss in some fairly big but bitesized cubes of turkey breast in the egg to get them 'sticky'. Then I toss all the coated cubes into the big bowl with the soybean coating, and toss it around and it gets all the soy flour and bigger crunchier bits to coat it. then in a skillet, i heat up some olive oil to about medium, and plop in the coated turkey cubes sizzling in there, turning them to lightly brown each side. If there was a lot of extra coating that fell off in this process (which starts to burn at the bottom) then after hte turkey is done, I take out the turkey pieces, dump out the excess coating, and put the turkey back in and just for hte very last minute, I toss them around with just enough Sweet & sour chili sauce (spicy-hot), and voila!
So essentially it turns out to be a somewhat improved/healthier version of fried chicken you get in asian stir-fry dishes-- first off turkey has a mildly better proportion of amino acid quantities compared to chicken, and it does not use regular carbohydrate-loaded flour as a batter-- instead soybeans ground up have an excellent larger proportion of proteins and some good lipids, and delivers that extra bit of crunch without it having to be deep-fried. Just some good ol olive-oil sautee work gets it just right!
