I'm not sure if I like the idea of using an air fryer. I've never used one before.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The coconut flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The turkey fingers were also very juicy and tender.

I tried this recipe and the turkey fingers turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked them. Other than that, the recipe was easy to follow and the coconut breading was delicious.

The coconut coating on these turkey fingers was amazing! It added a nice crunch and flavor to the dish. The turkey was also very tender and juicy. Overall, this was a great recipe.

These turkey fingers were a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken fingers, and they were just as delicious! The air fryer made them crispy without all the grease. Will definitely make this recipe again.
