Deep Fried Turkey

[F350DRW1]

Gonna give it a shot for Thanksgiving. Seems simple enough. Any of you guys ever do this or try it?

Yep been deep fryin the birds for the past 3 years and each keeps getting better

Gonna put em in cottonseed next week,I did some test runs with chicken and fish(separate oils) to where I received great reviews from the wife and kids

I used to marinate the turkey the day before but found it better tasting without it.

You use a food syringe and inject them? Or just a rub?

Don't set the house on fire. I hear its pretty easy to do when frying the bird. They are delicous though.

works great, and tastes better than cooked in the oven. It's been a while but its about 30 mins for about a 15 lb bird. And It not greasy like you would think it would be.

Save me all your turkey fryer oil .

Yes use a syringe with a marinade of your choice,I prefer lemon,pepper and garlic or even a basic italian dressing works good for us.

A rub just washes off once it hits the hot oil.

I'll probably pick up the bird Saturday so it'll have plenty of time to thaw out.

I inject my own marinade similar to CHP's. I just throw some stuff in and taste it as I go. Make sure there is enough room in the pot for the turkey to fit and not overflow (which is what burns down houses). There is no more fighting for the dark moist meat. Everything is juicy.

I'm hungry now.

They are allways great
