Fried Turkey Breast Recipes

DEEP-FRIED TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Combine sea salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, granulated garlic, and chili powder in a plastic container with lid. Seal container and shake until seasonings are well mixed.
• Rub entire batch of spice mixture over turkey breast to coat completely; wrap breast in aluminum foil and refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Remove breast from fridge and let stand at room temperature as you heat the oil.
• Heat oil in a pot with a lid and large enough to hold the oil and breast to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Gently add breast to the oil, cover pot with lid, and fry until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

AIR FRYER TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place rosemary, chives, garlic, salt, and pepper onto a cutting board. Cut butter into thin slices on top of herbs and seasonings and mash until well blended.
• Pat turkey breast dry and rub with herbed butter on both sides and under the skin.
• Place turkey into the basket of the air fryer, skin-side down, and fry for 20 minutes.
• Turn turkey to skin-side up carefully and continue frying until an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 18 minutes more. Transfer to a platter and tent with aluminum foil; allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

TURKEY FRIED TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• Fill a large, deep pot halfway full with vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium high heat to 350 degrees F.
• Season turkey breast with salt and pepper and Cajun seasoning. Dredge the turkey in flour, then in milk, and back in the flour. Carefully lower the breast into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked to 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer.

FRIED TURKEY BREAST

Steps:

• One hour before frying, place the turkey breast on a baking sheet, sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and let sit at room temperature.
• To figure out how much oil you will need for frying, put the breast in a large pot and cover with water by 3 inches; the pot should be large enough that the water comes no more than halfway up the sides. Remove the breast and check the water level -- that is how much oil you will need.
• Dry the pot and add the oil. Heat to 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer.
• Pat the breast dry with paper towels. Using heat-resistant gloves (to protect yourself from burns), SLOWLY and CAREFULLY lower it into the hot oil.
• Fry until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season with a bit more salt. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
