Deli Meets Deep Fryer: Boar’s Head Debuts “The Fryer’s” Deep Fried Turkey Breast

Boar’s Head is bringing a holiday-style indulgence to the daily lunch routine. According to a report from Allrecipes and a major national announcement from the brand this May, The Fryer’s™ Deep Fried Turkey Breast has officially joined the permanent lineup at deli counters nationwide.

To mark the launch, the brand even took over the Las Vegas Sphere, using the massive “Exosphere” to showcase the crispy, golden texture of its newest flagship protein.

The “Three-Step” Culinary Process

Unlike standard oven-roasted deli meats, “The Fryer’s” undergoes a more labor-intensive preparation to mimic the flavor of a backyard turkey fry:

• Step 1: Cold Brining: The extra-lean turkey breast is cold-brined to ensure it remains juicy and tender throughout the cooking process.
• Step 2: Slow Oven-Roasting: The meat is slowly roasted at a low temperature to lock in moisture and develop a savory base.
• Step 3: Oil-Browning: Finally, the turkey is finished in oil to create the characteristic “deep-fried” crust and rich, golden appearance.

Flavor Profile and Ingredients

The turkey is seasoned with a proprietary spice blend designed to deliver a smoky, savory “southern-style” kick. Key flavor notes include:

• Smoky Aromatics: Beechwood smoked onion and smoked garlic powder.
• Bold Spices: A blend of black and pink peppercorns, paprika, and turmeric.
• Health Specs: Despite the “deep-fried” name, the product remains low-fat and low-sodium (44% lower sodium than USDA data for white rotisserie turkey), offering 13g of protein per 2-ounce serving.

How to Serve “The Fryer’s”

Boar’s Head is positioning this as a versatile “game-changer” for home cooks looking to elevate simple meals:

• The Backyard Club: Sliced thin and paired with Bold BourbonRidge® Smoked Ham, Havarti with Dill, and Garlic Aioli Gourmaise®.
• The Cuban Twist: Used as a smoky alternative in a pressed Cuban-style melt with Swiss cheese and pickles.
• The “Centerpiece” Salad: Thicker slices can be cubed and added to a summer garden salad for a protein-rich, “crunchy” flavor profile.

Availability

• Where to Find It: Now available at select deli counters nationwide (look for the specialty “Fryer's” branding).
• Format: Available as a fresh-sliced deli meat or in premium “Backyard” recipe bundles.

This is a high-impact win for fans of bold, “nostalgia-heavy” flavors. It delivers the specific taste of a Thanksgiving deep-fry without the mess of a propane burner or the wait for a holiday.
