by Masterbuilt
Ingredients
- Peanut oil for frying
- Fresh or frozen turkey breast
- 8 ounce Butterball Buttery Creole Marinade
- Butterball Cajun Seasoning to taste
Directions
- Completely thaw turkey breast, if frozen (make sure turkey is free of any ice). Preheat oil to 375º F.
- Rinse turkey well with warm water. Dry turkey well with paper towels. Inject 4 oz marinade into each side of breast. Sprinkle outside generously with Butterball Cajun Seasoning.
- Place turkey, breast side up, in basket. Slowly lower basket into hot oil; be cautious of splattering oil.
- Reduce temperature to 325° F. Fry turkey for 7 minutes per pound. (Example: 6 pound turkey breast, 6X7=42 minutes)
- Remove from oil to check doneness. Insert an instant-read thermometer; it is done when it reads 170º F.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Let rest 15 minutes. Carefully carve with sharp knife.
