I just love this delicacy during a cook out or tailgate party!
Here are a few tips that will help you out on your deep frying adventure.
- Always make sure the turkey is completely thawed.
- Clean the turkey in same manner as for roasting.
- Do not stuff.
- Rub dry seasoning inside and out when using dry or inject liquid seasoning.
- Determine how much oil to use by following this little tip.
- Fill pot with water.
- Lower turkey into water. (The water should cover turkey without spilling over-adjust accordingly.)
- Remove turkey and measure water.
- Discard water and fill pot with oil.
- Heat oil to at least 310 degrees, before adding turkey.
- Be careful of oil splattering when lowering turkey into hot oil.
Cooking time table:

- Turkey with skin
- 3 ½ minutes per pound
Let turkey set for 20 min before carving.
Now enjoy!
