Deep Fried Stuffed Crepes

Oh you can fry a dirty sock and I would eat it.  Deep fried food is like a little angel and devil sitting on my shoulder.   Every bite is “died and gone to heaven” good, but the aftermath on the digestive system is “died and gone to hell” bad.  This does not keep me from eating or making deep fried foods that’s for sure. 

I stumbled upon some savory palacinke/crepe recipes in my Croatian Cuisine cookbook.  As soon as I laid eyes on the deep fried number I was sold.  “Fried Breaded Crepes with Turkey Filling”.  The recipe seemed easy enough, but a bit time consuming, so I made what I could ahead of time as I knew this would be way too much to do all at once. 

I started with the crepes themselves.  The batter is the same as when making sweet crepes here in Cro (typically we do not add sugar to the batter as the filling is sugary enough.)  Speaking of I should really write an entire entry on making crepes as they are tricky.  That’s to come!  I then made the filling with ground turkey, pickled cucumbers and red peppers, sour cream, with a dash of nutmeg.  The crepes are stuffed, rolled like an egg roll, dipped in eggs, coated with read crumbs, and then deep fried.  Oh so good!  I forgot to take a pic because I wanted to eat them right away, so I leave you with the one below instead.  The recipe can be found under recipe tab above.  Enjoy!
