I've Cajun fried hundreds of turkeys over the years. For the last 3 years I've been doing them in my oil less turkey fryer. Same great taste without the added expense of peanut oil. I would be run out of the Family gathering if I showed up with a smoked turkey. Guess it's just region and traditions depending on where a person lives. Here are some pic's of cooks. I inject but do not brine:

The fixin's:



Injected and covered overnight:



Dusted the next morning and into the Big Easy:





Pulled and resting:





Some of it plated:



Here's a short clip of how this rig works. The birds that come out of this thing are as good as any fried that we've had:


Hope everyone has a Great Holiday!

..so am I the only person that picks the carcass and separates the white and dark meat for serving, or does everyone do the traditional "Dad slices the bird at the table with the antler handled carving set"?

I have that with my inlaws, and presentation and table settings are formal.

At my table I want my dark meat, and I want it now!

99.9% of the time my deep fried, drum cooked or rotisserie turkeys look like chit for a presentation setting, so I just get down and have a "pickin". Then go into a coma.

I never carve at the table. I break down the whole bird, dark meat goes onto one platter, white meat onto another platter and the Pope's nose into my belly.

Yeah I carve in the kitchen and platter everything the same way. Then the platters go on the table with the sides.

But.....I've always pitched the "nose". It's good eats, eh?

My usually method is to inject, rub and put on the smoker spatchcocked. I also like to give the breast about a twenty minute ice bath, this seems to work for me to get the white and dark done at the same time.

GREAT thread here. Thanks for starting Wampus and thanks for all the tips.

I'm doing my T-Giving dress rehearsal tomorrow.

Anyone ever tried Cornstarch with their dry rub up under the skin to dry out the fat on the skin? I've heard this works wonders!

It's pretty much all fat and skin. I make two turkeys now so that my brother and I don't have to fight over it anymore.
