Air fry turkey tails, Adokougbi (Togolese cuisine)

Because turkey tail is full of fat, there is no need to deep fry it although it is deep fried originally. I use to bake it with takes longer. Luckily, the airfryer came to the rescue.

I always boil seasoned turkey tails before frying them. If using a pressure cooker, poultry setting will of course work. Do not cut the turkey tail befor cooking. Just cook it as is and you can cut it into your desired portion after it is done air frying.

After boiling, because the meat is greasy, it is best to place it in the airfry basket for frying. You do not need to overload the airfryer basket as you need to allow even distribution of the heat. 

Fry turkey tail goes with hot pepper. Here I used green hot pepper sauce; check the recipe here. The meat usually accompagn dishes like Akpan, fry yam, fry plantain, gari pnon, eba,alloco, koliko….
