# Method:

01 - Combine turkey or chicken strips with buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
02 - Whisk egg in a shallow bowl. Mix flour and cornstarch in another shallow bowl.
03 - Dip each marinated turkey strip into the egg wash, then dredge thoroughly in the flour-cornstarch mixture, shaking off excess.
04 - Heat 3/4 to 1.25 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the coated strips for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
05 - Combine green cabbage, red cabbage, carrot, and spring onions in a large bowl. Whisk together rice vinegar, mayonnaise, sesame oil, sugar, salt, and pepper. Toss the vegetables with the dressing until evenly coated.
06 - Combine mayonnaise, gochujang, honey, and rice vinegar in a small bowl, stirring until smooth and fully incorporated.
07 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave until pliable and warm.
08 - Spread a thin layer of sauce on each tortilla. Add a generous portion of slaw, top with crispy turkey strips, drizzle with additional sauce, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
09 - Roll each wrap tightly, slice in half diagonally, and serve immediately.
