Deep-fried boneless turkey thigh
Deep-frying a whole turkey safely not only requires somewhat specialized equipment, it’s frankly, not for the faint of heart. But a turkey thigh roast cooked this way is easily manageable and quite delicious. Served with the following BBQ corn recipe inspired by James Barber and smashed potatoes. Add a side salad of seasonal greens and the meal is complete.
Ingredients:
1 boneless BC turkey thigh (about 2lbs/1 kg) , tied into a roast
4 cups/ 1 L oil for deep frying
salt and pepper to taste
Season turkey with salt & pepper.
In a medium saucepan, heat oil to about 360°F. Lower turkey roast gently into oil with a long pair of tongs and deep-fry for about 8 to 10 minutes (or about 4 minutes/lb). When inserted in middle, meat thermometer should read 180°F. Remove from oil and allow to rest for 5 minutes before carving.
