Narrative:
While on visual approach to avp and self-vectoring towards the FAF for runway 22 we descended to 3;000 feet and began a downwind to base turn. During the turn the egpws (enhanced ground proximity warning system) sensed an obstacle tower near the cosby int ahead that was inside 500 feet of our altitude and gave us a single and momentary 'terrain' warning. Both the first officer (first officer) and I reached for the thrust levers and looked outside; we both agreed the warning was temporary and we were not near terrain and decided to continue.egpws sensing an obstacle through our turning path. Readied for evasive maneuver; confirmed location and verified no terrain. Could have added 100 to 200 feet to altitude to avoid the warning.
