Golden Blossoms Filled with Turkey & Cheese
Delicate zucchini flowers stuffed with seasoned turkey and melting cheese, then battered and fried until crisp and golden — each bite gives you savory richness, crisp shell, and floral tenderness.
Ingredients
- 15 zucchini flowers
- 5 slices of turkey
- 5 slices of melting cheese
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 50-100 g water
- 1 egg
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sweet paprika
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini Flowers:
Carefully clean the zucchini flowers by removing the stems, the green parts around the exterior, and the yellow stigma inside, making sure not to break them. Rinse them gently and let them drain. - Prepare the Filling:
Cut the turkey and cheese into small pieces. Stuff each zucchini flower with the filling, ensuring they are not overfilled. - Prepare the Batter:
In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add the lightly beaten egg and gradually pour in the water until you achieve a thick batter. Add more water if needed. - Fry the Flowers:
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Dip each stuffed flower into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated, and then place it gently into the hot oil.
Fry on both sides until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
A Tempter of Textures and Flavors
Succulent turkey meets gooey cheese, all embraced by the delicate zucchini flower’s shape — then fried to add crunch that contrasts the soft, melting core.
