  • 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).
