Fritay Turkey Ingredients
Method
Fritay Turkey Directions
- 1
Marinate the Turkey
In a large bowl, combine the turkey thighs with garlic, onion, bell pepper, scotch bonnet pepper, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Massage the mixture into the meat. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare for Frying
Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep pot over medium heat until hot. You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it bubbles and browns, it's ready.

Fry the Turkey
Carefully add the marinated turkey thighs to the hot oil, being cautious of splatter. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes on each side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Drain and Serve
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
