Crispy Deep-Fried Turkey Breast

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Deep-Fried Turkey Breast.

1. Step 1

   To create a deliciously seasoned turkey breast, start by gathering a small jar and combining sea salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, granulated garlic, and chili powder.

2. Step 2

   Once you’ve added all the spices, seal the jar and give it a good shake until everything is well mixed.

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to rub this flavorful spice blend all over your turkey breast, making sure every inch is coated for maximum flavor.

4. Step 4

   After seasoning, wrap the turkey breast tightly in aluminum foil and pop it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

5. Step 5

   This resting period allows the spices to meld beautifully, enhancing the taste.

6. Step 6

   When the time is up, take the turkey breast out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

7. Step 7

   This step helps the turkey cook more evenly.

8. Step 8

   While the turkey is resting, pour oil into a large pot, ensuring it’s deep enough to fully submerge the turkey breast.

9. Step 9

   Heat the oil to 325°F (165°C), creating the perfect environment for frying.

10. Step 10

    Once the oil is hot, carefully lower the turkey breast into the pot, then cover it with a lid.

11. Step 11

    Fry the turkey for about 25 minutes, or until it’s no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.

12. Step 12

    To be sure it’s cooked through, use an instant-read thermometer; it should read at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the breast.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the delightful aroma and the anticipation of a perfectly cooked turkey!.
