Ingredients
Spice Blend:
-
2 tablespoons sea salt
-
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
-
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
-
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
-
1 tablespoon chili powder
Turkey:
-
1 (7 pound) turkey breast
-
2 gallons canola oil for frying
Directions
-
Combine sea salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, granulated garlic, and chili powder in a small jar. Seal the jar and shake until seasonings are well mixed.
-
Rub entire spice blend mixture over turkey breast to coat it completely. Wrap the breast securely in aluminum foil and refrigerate for 24 hours.
-
Remove breast from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, pour oil into a lidded pot large enough to hold it and the turkey breast. Heat oil to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
Gently lower breast in the oil, cover the pot with a 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).
