I know this is a Q-ing site, however, I need some different ideas for the turkey we are going to fry on Easter.

Check the archives. Should be a few threads on deep frying. We do that also.
 
Check around Thankgiving.

Basic tips.
Do it outside.
Do it away from anyone/anything
lower SLOWLY into the oil.

370 degree oil before it goes in.

Dry the bird first.

try to get it back around 350

3-3.5 min per pound.
 
Make real sure the bird is thawed! :twisted: Then do like Bill said :D Takes about 3.5 minutes per pound. If you have a "normal" pot of about 24-30 quarts limit the birds size to under 12 pounds (don't ask me how I know this - just don't look at the grease stain on the pool deck :oops: )

Inject with cajun butter and rub under the skin with your favorite fowl rub (hint: Tony C. or Emeril's Essence work real well). Instructions for injecting are included with most cookers and with most jars of injection marinade -- the syringe is included, too.
