How to Deep Fry a Turkey

A Guide to Deep Frying a Thanksgiving Turkey

We have another reason to love those southern states.  Today we can thank them for giving us the wonderful concept of a fried turkey.  Fried turkey is nothing like you would actually expect.  It is moist and flavorful on the inside and just a little bit crisp on the outside.  Believe it or not, the end product isn't even greasy!

A Few Helpful hints:

• You are going to want to cook your turkey for 3 minutes per pound.
  
• Maximum turkey size should be 15 lbs or it won't fit in my traditional fryers
  
• Keep a fire extinguisher handy
  Use a marinade injector to inject marinade inside the turkey meat to make the turkey more flavorful
  
• Make sure to lower your turkey into the deep fryer VERY slowly to avoid spills
• Wear gloves when submerging the turkey in the fryer to prevent burns
