How to Fry a Turkey

I have been frying turkeys for almost 10 years and have found that this is the best and tastiest way to fry a turkey:

1. Get a turkey frying kit.

2. Get a turkey between 11 and 21 lbs.

3. Put wrapped turkey in pot and stand on its end. Cover with water. Remove turkey and mark the height of the water. Dump out water.

4. Thaw turkey, remove all junk from inside turkey and wash and dry it.

5. Inject the turkey with an entire small bottle of Franks Red Hot sauce. Concentrate on the breast and always pull the injector out as you inject so as to evenly distribute the Franks.

6. Mix together 1 part pepper, 1 part paprika, 1 part (celery, onion, or garlic) salt. Rub entire surface of turkey with that mixture.

7. Fill pot to mark you made earlier with peanut oil.

8. Heat oil to 400 degrees.

9. Slowly lower turkey, legs up, into pot. Temperature of oil will drop.

10. Cook turkey at around 350 degrees for 3.5 minutes a pound.

11. When done, remove turkey, drain, carve, eat. (Turkey is done when leg will pull off easily and liquid at joint is clear)

Any Questions?
