Instructions
-
Determine the required oil volume by submerging the turkey breast in the frying pot with water, removing the breast, and measuring the water.
-
Empty the water, thoroughly dry the pot, and truss the turkey breast if necessary.
-
Pat the breast dry, inject it with Cajun marinade, coat it with seasoning, then cover and marinate for 15-20 minutes or overnight.
-
Preheat the measured oil in the pot to 350 F, using a thermometer for accuracy, then slowly lower the turkey breast into the hot oil with a rack or heat-resistant gloves.
-
Fry the breast for 3-4 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes, maintaining the oil at 350 F, until the internal temperature reaches 165-170 F.
-
Carefully remove the turkey from the oil and drain it on a paper towel-lined cutting board for 5-7 minutes.
-
Carve the breast into 1/2-inch slices and serve.
