Ingredients Needed:

- Canola oil, for frying
How To Make Fried Turkey Breast?
- Season the Turkey: Sprinkle the turkey breast with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Measure the Oil: Put the turkey in a large pot, cover it with water (3 inches above), and remove it. The water level shows how much oil you need.
- Heat the Oil: Dry the pot, add oil, and heat to 175°C.
- Fry the Turkey: Pat the turkey dry, then slowly lower it into the hot oil. Fry for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and the inside temperature is 71°C.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from oil, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
Recipe Tips:
- Pat the Turkey Dry: Always dry the turkey breast well with paper towels before frying to avoid dangerous oil splatter.
- Season Generously: Use plenty of salt and pepper for the best flavor, as frying can mellow the seasoning.
- Check Oil Temperature: To ensure even cooking and crispy skin, keep the oil at 175°C. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Fry Slowly and Safely: Lower the turkey breast into the hot oil very slowly to prevent burns or spills.
- Use a Thermometer: Ensure the turkey is cooked to 71°C inside to make it safe to eat.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Cool the turkey to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly. It can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Once cooled, wrap the turkey well or use a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheat: Use a pan on low heat, flipping the turkey slices for a few minutes to heat them gently.
