DEEP FRIED TURKEY BREAST RECIPE

Steps:

• To determine the amount of oil needed to deep fry the turkey breast, place the breast in a large, deep stock pot and cover with water by 3 inches. Mark the water level and remove the breast - this is the amount of oil needed to fry your turkey breast. Note: The pot should be large enough that the water/oil comes no more than halfway up the sides of the pot.
• Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels and liberally season with table salt, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Leave at room temperature for 1 hour (or refrigerate, uncovered, 1 to 24 hours).
• While the breast air dries, dry the pot and add the measured amount of oil. Heat the oil until it registers 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer.
• Very slowly and carefully (protecting yourself from splatters) lower the turkey breast into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning it over once. The breast is done when the internal temperature (at the thickest part) registers 165°F on an instant read thermometer. Be sure to check the oil temperature often to maintain the oil at 350°F.
• The cook time will depend how large the breast is, but a rough rule of thumb is about 3-4 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes. (About 15-20 minutes total for a 2½ - 3 pound breast.)
• Remove the breast and allow it the rest 5 minutes before cutting into ½-inch slices.
• Enjoy!
