For each serving: toss turkey and vegetables together in a small bowl.

Place immediately in fryer basket and submerge in 400 degrees F oil -- be careful as oil will splatter considerably. Cook about 30 seconds, or until batter is a light golden brown.
Serve immediately with any of the following condiments: teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, hot mustard, rice wine vinegar or sweet & sour sauce.
