Michael Voltaggio’s Sous Vide Turkey

In this recipe by Chef Michael Voltaggio, turkey pieces are first cooked using the sous vide method. Then the fully cooked breasts and drumsticks are deep-fried, and the thighs quickly seared, just before serving. The turkey can be cooked in the sous vide circulator for up to four days in advance; refrigerate in the vacuum-sealable bags.
