These turkey fingers were a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices to the breading next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my turkey fingers came out way too salty. I think I might have used too much salt in the breading.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my turkey fingers didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like soggy nuggets.

These were so good! I used panko breadcrumbs instead of coconut flakes, and they still turned out amazing.
