Welcome to the channel and introduction to the recipe.

Mention the use of high protein ground turkey and tofu for nuggets.

Season the ground turkey with salt, pepper, and onion powder.

Add about 1-2 teaspoons of minced garlic to the turkey mixture.

Crack in 1 egg.

Add about 1 teaspoon of chicken bouillon and a light drizzle of soy sauce.

Incorporate about 4 tablespoons of cornstarch or potato starch into the mixture.

Add in half a block (7 ounces) of soft tofu and mash everything together with hands until well combined.

Heat oil in a large pan for frying.

Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing mayonnaise, minced garlic, soy sauce, and Sriracha.

Shape the turkey-tofu mixture into nugget-like shapes and place them gently into the hot oil.

Fry about 6 nuggets at a time, cooking for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove the nuggets from the oil once they are nicely browned.

Plate the nuggets and serve with the garlic Sriracha mayo.
