reviewed Deep Fried Turkey
We have fried turkeys for years. FORGET the brine. INJECT with turkey injector. We buy it at Wal Mart, Academy, or the grocery store. You can order it from Gander Mountain. Or use Italian dressing. It will not be black if you forget the brine.
A 12-15 lb. works best. We have done larger, but it takes so long to get it all cooked that some of it is overcooked.
We use plain old VEGETABLE oil. Forget peanut oil, it is expensive and there is no difference in the taste. A 5 gal. jug of veg. oil at Sams is $14.00. We strain the oil, return it to the plastic container and put it in the freezer, then re-use when we need it.
We love fried turkeys!
