Everything But The Leftovers Quail Nuggets
We just got a bunch of wild bird in the freezer, and to say I’m excited to cook with it is a giant understatement. We’ve been out of poultry for a while, and I don’t buy protein from the store, so I’ve really been missing some bird in our diet!
One of the things I love about the smaller birds is that they take almost no time to cook, which has eased my mind a ton when cooking them. I hate cooking chicken because I just can never get the time right to make sure it is done enough!
But anyway, I’ve been in a Thanksgiving mode testing and creating Thanksgiving dishes, so had already decided that we were going to eat the sides that I had been making as dinner one evening, but I wanted to figure out how to incorporate a protein into dinner as well. I remembered that I had just picked up some Everything But The Leftovers seasoning from Trader Joes, and decided to use it to make some quail nuggets!
All I did was mix in a hefty amount of seasoning into some flour for the dredge, and they totally had that Thanksgiving taste that went so well with all of the sides we were having. I actually had to cut my 2 year old off after 2 helpings because we had to make sure to save some for Dada!
If you are a hunter, or find yourself in possession of some quail, make sure to give these a try – the whole family will love them!
