I would like to mention that I am not a pro at this but this is the way I learned how to deep fry a turkey and it has worked for years. If there is anything I missed I welcome any suggestions and/or criticism.
First get the neck, gizzard and liver pack out of the turkey.
Then take out any plastic:
Put turkey in pot and fill with water to top of turkey:
Pull turkey out and notice where the water level is, this is where you will fill the oil to:
Dry the pot thoroughly.
Now dry the turkey and tuck the wings back:
And tie the legs:
This is a good investment:
It will regulate the flame on the burner to the temperature you set:
This is the turkey right after setting it in:
Resting for 10-15 minutes:
Half of the turkey cut up and ready to serve:
I used this injector recipe in the turkey:
Beer n' Butter Poultry Injection
Ingredients:
• 1/2 pound butter
• 1/2 can beer
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Tabasco
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan over a low heat. Stir and heat until salt is dissolved and the sauce is even and runny. Keep warm (but not hot) to inject.
