Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 (7 pound) turkey breast
2 gallons canola oil for frying

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).
