Hint No. 1: To measure the amount of oil needed
to fry the turkey, place turkey in fryer, add water to top of turkey, remove the
turkey and the water line will indicate how much oil will be needed to fry your
turkey. Having too much oil can cause a fire. The pot should not be more than
3/4 full or the oil could overflow when the turkey is added.
Wash bird inside and out, and
allow to drain. Rub turkey all over with seasoning. Coat turkey with dry rub.
Allow the turkey to sit until it is approaching room temperature.
Heat peanut oil in a turkey fryer to 350 degrees
F. Lower turkey into hot oil, making sure it is fully submerged. Fry turkey for
3 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes per bird. Remove turkey from oil and drain on
paper towels.
Hint No. 2: After
preparing the turkey by cleaning, seasoning, and applying the dry rub, I just
call Barbeque Man for the deep frying.
Serve
with your favorite Thanksgiving vegetables, salads and desserts.
Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
