Cook it on your stove top. Season your frozen turkey breast and put it in a medium pot. Add onions, garlic, potatoes, corn, carrots and your favorite seasonings. Cover your pot with a lid and allow the turkey breast to simmer for one hour. As the turkey thaws, the water will blend with the vegetables and seasonings, which will create a turkey breast and seasoned vegetable dish.

Roast it. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grab a roasting pan. Line your pan with aluminum foil and season your frozen turkey breasts. Place the meat inside of your roasting pan with cut potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic and corn. Cover the top of your roasting pan with aluminum foil and let it bake for two hours.

Deep-fry it. Broil your turkey breasts at 375 degrees F for five minutes on each side. Pour enough cooking oil in your deep fryer to fully cover the turkey breasts. Remove the turkey from the broiler and allow it to cool. Use a marinade injector to season your turkey. Season with a small amount of flour, coating each side of your turkey breast. Fry each turkey breast for 3 1/2 minutes.
