For enhanced flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of smoked paprika to the spice rub. Ensure the turkey breast is completely thawed before frying for even cooking. Always monitor the oil temperature closely to prevent burning or undercooking. To prevent oil splattering, pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels before lowering it into the hot oil.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small jar, meticulously combine sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, fiery red pepper flakes, granulated garlic, and robust chili powder. Seal the jar and shake vigorously until the seasonings are uniformly mixed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepGenerously rub the entire spice blend over the turkey breast, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated. Wrap the breast securely in aluminum foil, creating a cocoon of flavor, and refrigerate for 24 hours, allowing the spices to deeply penetrate the meat. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
03
StepRemove the turkey breast from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for approximately 20 minutes. This crucial step ensures even cooking during the frying process. (Rest time: 20 minutes)
04
StepPour the canola oil into a lidded pot, ensuring it is large enough to fully submerge the turkey breast. Heat the oil to a precise 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), using a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature. (Prep time: 15 minutes)
05
StepCarefully and gently lower the turkey breast into the hot oil. Cover the pot with a lid, maintaining the temperature and preventing splattering. Fry until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 25 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast to confirm doneness, ensuring the juices run clear when pierced. (Cook time: 25 minutes)
