Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the turkey is tender.
Близько 30 хв

Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Близько 3 хв
Примітка кухаря: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when a piece of turkey is added, around 350°F (175°C).

Carefully add the cooked turkey pieces to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Близько 2 хв
Примітка кухаря: Overcrowding will lower the oil temperature and result in steamed, rather than crispy, turkey.

Fry the turkey for about 5-7 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Близько 7 хв
Примітка кухаря: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning while ensuring even browning.
