Print Recipe

Crispy turkey skin chicharrones seasoned with a sweet-and-savory pumpkin spice salt, perfect for fall gatherings or cozy snacks.

Ingredients

  • Fresh or leftover turkey skin, trimmed of excess fat
  • Fine sea salt
  • Pumpkin spice blend (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice)
  • Olive oil or avocado oil
  • Optional: smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat or meat from the turkey skin using a sharp knife. Cut the skin into bite-sized pieces, roughly 2 inches wide. Pat the pieces dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the salt and pumpkin spice blend. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the turkey skin pieces.
  3. Place a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
  4. Carefully lay the seasoned turkey skin pieces in the hot pan, skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the edges start to curl and the skin is golden brown.
  5. Using tongs, flip each piece and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy. If the skin is browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
  6. Remove the chicharrones from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Let them cool for a few minutes.
  7. Optional: Transfer the chicharrones to a baking sheet and place them in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
  8. Sprinkle with a little extra pumpkin spice salt if desired and enjoy warm.

Notes

[‘Dry the turkey skin thoroughly to ensure maximum crispiness.’, ‘Fry the skin in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.’, ‘Adjust the heat to prevent burning.’, ‘Customize the pumpkin spice blend to suit your taste.’, ‘Finish the chicharrones in the oven for extra crispiness.’]
