Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

One boneless, skin-on turkey breast (3 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for frying

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.
