Deep Frying Turkey

[Dockman]

Me and some friends are deep frying 4 Turkeys tomorrow. We are all to season the turkey how we want. What is a good recipe for injecting Turkeys? I want to do this tonight, so any help would be great. Sorry for the short notice.

[Scarab Babe]

Go to your grocery store...they have different flavors of injections...choose your flavor!! The teryaki is really good.

I love deep fried turkeys!! Save some for me!!

[SoonerJake]

We like the cajun seasoning.

[Dockman]

We're doing 4 of them so there should be plenty. We are wanting to do from scratch.

[Scarab Babe]

Ooh...cajun would be good!!!


Daddy Hinkles is also a good seasoning, but I don't know how it'd taste in a turkey..



Talk to Christian - he could help you out, I'm sure!

[Dockman]

Daddy Hinkles is good.

[midmo3]

rub them down with olive oil, then mustard, then cover them with cajun seasoning. mix up the same ingrediants and inject them. put in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or cooler full of ice. send one to me and cook the rest about 45 minutes @375 degrees

We had Thanksgiving at our house last year, and I did two turkeys on the grill, on a rotisserie. It was actually pretty good... not the same as deep frying, but they turned out well regardless. :mrgreen:

Good luck!

My wife makes an awesome turkey (in the oven). She bast it every 15 minutes for the first hour or so. It is spicy and juicy (lots of pepper). It is by far the best turkey I have ever had and it's done in the oven.

If any of the four of you are experienced with frying turkeys in an oil fryer this probably goes without saying but what you need to do before you put the oil in the fryer is drop the turkeys in and fill the fryers with water till the birds are submerged. Then take the turkeys out and see what the water level is so you know how much oil to put in to the fryers with respect to the size of the bird. A grease fire will spoil your day fast.

Good luck and enjoy! Deep fried turkeys are fantastic.

Any injection with garlic flaver is awsome , also know the weight of you turkeys and use that for cook time its so many minutes per pound. I love deep fried gobblers so much better than baked, Start early it seems like it can take an hour or so per bird.

[BDiggity]

we use the cajun also

Thanks for the heads up, we have been warned about that.

DON'T FRY THEM IN THE GARAGE

IF ITS COLD OUTSIDE

keep it outside and build a small wall to keep the wind off the fire

Our neighbors burnt there house down from a oil fire in the garage when they 1st came out a couple of years ago. :( [smilie=011.gif]

Other wise

have one heck of a bird day and good luck[smilie=trink39]

[Dockman]

One of the friends is an experienced deep fryer. We should be safe. We have an outside fireplace and a cooler full of Miller lite.

[bradman]

don't inject em, brine em....just my opinion

[mariah bob]

We use an electric deep fryer we got at Home Depot couple years ago, no worry of a fire with them plus it keeps the oil temp. constant

[laker]

The butter Creole is great. Be sure and do some potatoes and then biscuits at the end. Throw some biscuit dough in and cook then sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.

[Dockman]

Ok we have injected the turkey, this is what we used.
Red Wine Vinegar
Liquid Smoke
Oil
Pepper
Salt

Will let you know how it taste?

[jrncraft]

We have deep fried several turkeys. The first few times we did the deep fry we used the injection method and found that the areas we injected almost looked uncooked or discolored after the turkey was cooked. Since then we have been just rubbing the turkey in various rubs.

Maybe we did the injection wrong?? Not sure but just rubbing the turkeys have tasted very good.

Good Luck, makes for a very fun day!

[smilie=291.gif] I would rather eat shit off a rusty spoon than eat a turkey!!!!:mrgreen: Just think if the Indians would of gave the Pilgrims a donkey instead of a turkey we all would have a piece of ass for Thanksgiving[smilie=crazy]

[docjimm]

Deep thoughts by Baja tender........................

[Reggie]

Great thread, everyone eat lots of turkey this year, the market is in the chitter, so we need to get this white meat off the market.

[DOUBLESCORPIO]

I am not a big fan of turkey, but my wife persuaded me to smoke one last year. I used a combination of apple and maple and smoked it for about 12 hours....OMG!! It tastes so good that this is now the only way we will cook one now. I have done the deep-frying to but smoking it is way better!!

Funniest shit I have read in a long time.

[midmo3]

Just think...if the Indians had given the Pilgrim Fathers a cougar instead of a turkey we would all be eating pussy for Thanksgiving....??

[Dockman]

Who cares what the Indians give. I have good intention on getting some ass, eating Turkey and pu**y.

[dwtinc]

Hand rubbed meat. What a coincindence.

[Saleen367]

I did this as a tradition for my ex'es family for about 4 years. It was positively the best turkey ever. Each year we tried different rubs and injections. Bought most of my seasonings at Gander Mountain, Cabelas or Bass Pro ... Cajun is incredible, Butter Creole, Garlic Butter is good too.

Turkeys turned out pretty good. The first one was a little done, of course it was our turkey. The weather was a bit chilly, but we had the fire pit going and a propane heater. Here are a few pictures of our day.

1. What is Lyle doing to that turkey?
2. Donna making sure Kim (Our cook) is getting the oil temp correct.
3. Joyce had something going on with shrimp.

MAKE YOURSELF YOUR BEST BLODDY MARY, ACTUALLY MAKE 2. MAKE SURE YOU USE ALL THE FIXIN'S. THEN YOU INJECT ONE IN THE TURKEY AND DRINK THE OTHER ONE. TASTES GREAT!! EVEN THE ONE YOU DRINK.[smilie=trink39]

[Average Joe]

I fried one on the dock on the Saturday of the OSS race. Used the butter creole injection and it was AWESOME! I had a belly full of beer also, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with it.:)

[King High Full Boat]

Dockman....looks like a GREAT day! I'll mark the day down for next year.....what mm was that again?

[laker]

Has someone done a turkey with Brine? I have a way to do a turkey breast with Brine but does a whole turkey work the same? Please walk me through it I have heard good things

Thanks

[Dockman]

Dockman....looks like a GREAT day! I'll mark the day down for next year.....what mm was that again?
We were at the 62 mm.

[rweber81]

I always soak mine in a cooler for 24 hours before. The cooler contains honey beer, salt, brown sugar, luquid smoke, and ice. Then a rub down with cajun seasoning.

[momike]

We use the Cajun Butter marinade and inject the night before to let the juice permeate the bird.

[joefio]

If its cold outside

[csheldon]

Just think............................................. .......... If the Indians would have given the Pilgrims a donkey instead of a turkey, we would all be having a piece of ASS this Thanksgiving!!! [smilie=mooner][smilie=hump][smilie=eck05.gif][smilie=kissass.gif][smilie=smackbum.gi::nurse:[smilie=shakin.gif]






I hope I got all of the ass smiles.

[csheldon]

I was sidetracked with the whole piece if ass thing and I forgot what I was going to post in the first place. :oops:


I was at a Thanksgiving Day game in KC a few years ago and watched someones fryer flame over and scorch the side of a vehicle.

[Dockman]

Let's pretend that the Indians [smilie=appl]did give a donkey. Hell yeah come on Thanksgiving.:twisted:

[Soul Asset]

I melt butter (the real stuff), mix in some Tobasco and fresh garlic. Good stuff! This Thanksgiving, I'll deep fry one & put another in the smoker. Mmmm!

Oh, by the way, I learned the hard way about measuring the depth of the oil. Didn't burn anything down, but it was a pretty exciting time!

I hear nothing but horror stories about fires with deep frying turkeys.
From what I remember the water on a bird hitting the oil shoots the
oil out and then the gas flames hit the oil and BOOOOM!!

Wouldn't it be better to dry the turkey thuroughly, put it in the fryer,
fill the fryer with oil ( not water ) then remove, heat up the oil etc.

that way not too much oil and you are not introducing any water either?

I am definately no chef...and never deep fry anthing, can't afford the calories.

Just a thought. :cool:
