Deep-Fried Turkey 2

Deep-Fried Turkey 2

INGREDIENTS:

* 1 (16-pound) turkey
* 3 gallons peanut oil
* 8 ounces Wishbone Italian Dressing
* Hot sauce to taste
* Worcestershire sauce to taste
* Salt to taste
* Black pepper to taste
* Cayenne pepper to taste
* Onion powder to taste
* Garlic powder to taste
* Celery salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:
Most hardware stores in Louisiana will carry a special pot for deep-frying turkeys. This pot not only enables you to use less oil, approximately three gallons, but includes an apparatus specially
designed for standing the turkey on end and lifting it out of the pot. There is a company here in Louisiana that produces a fried turkey seasoning blend and markets it under the trade name "Cajun Injector." I have found it to be an excellent choice when deep-frying turkeys. They have made the work of injecting spices into the breasts and thighs of the turkey quite easy.

Using a candy thermometer, preheat oil to 350 F. In a blender or food processor, combine all seasoning ingredients with Italian dressing and one half cup water. Blend 2-3 minutes to break the dried seasonings into the liquid mixture. Using a poultry injector, season the breast by injecting 2 -3 times on each side and repeat the process on the upper thighs. Slowly submerge the turkey by using the handles included in the frying set two to three inches at a time, to keep the oil from boiling over. Once the turkey is completely submerged, maintain a frying temperature of 335-350 F and cook three minutes per pound or until internal temperature of breast reaches 150-155 F, approximately 50 minutes. Remove the turkey from the oil and allow to sit overnight. Less than two tablespoons of oil will be used in this frying process and may be reused three to four times. A 16-pound turkey will yield approximately 5 1/2 pounds of meat. At 3 ounces per person, you can serve 25 friends a great fried turkey sandwich! The deep fry turkey is ready !

Deep Fried Turkey Cajun Injector Style

Deep Fried Turkey Cajun Injector Style

INGREDIENTS

* 16 ounces of Cajun Injector® Marinade
* 12-14 pound turkey
* Cajun Injector® Cajun Shake seasoning
* 3-4 Gallons of cooking oil

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove giblets and rinse turkey with warm water. Drain cavity completely.
2. Attach needle to injector by turning clockwise until snug. Do not over-tighten needle.
3. Shake marinade well. Pour needed marinade into separate container and draw into injector.
4. Inject turkey with approximately 4 ounces of marinade into breast. Inject breast at three different points on each side of breast. Insert injector at an angle completely into each breast.
Push plunger down slowly while pulling injector slowly out of breast. Apply same injection technique into thigh and drumstick. Inject 2 ounces of marinade into each thigh and drumstick. Use about 16 ounces of marinade per turkey. Use about 12 ounces of marinade for a bone-in turkey breast.
5. Sprinkle outside of turkey and cavity generously with Cajun Shake® (seasoned salt) -- rub in well. Caution: Make sure all water is drained from breast cavity before deep-frying. Heat 3-4 gallons of peanut oil to 350°F.
6. Place whole turkey or turkey breast, breast side down into fry basket. When oil has reached 350°F slowly (very slowly) lower basket into oil. Use of cooking mitts is highly recommended for lowering and raising fry basket out of oil.

7. Deep-fry whole turkey at 3-1/2 minutes per pound and deep fry a bone-in Turkey breast at 7-8 minutes per pound at 350°F. A breast takes longer to cook because the whole turkey has a large cavity which when filled with the oil helps the bird cook from the inside as well as the outside. (In a similar manner, if you're going to deep-fry a chicken or a Cornish game hen, the cooking time is 9 minutes per pound.)

8. When desired cooking time has been achieved raise basket out of oil. Allow excess oil to drain from basket. Remove turkey or turkey breast from basket and allow to rest for at least 20 minutes. ENJOY YOUR DELICIOUS DEEP FRIED TURKEY.....amazing taste !

DEEP FRY TURKEY RECIPE

DEEP FRY TURKEY RECIPE

INGREDIENTS
* One 12-15 pound turkey
* 1-1/2 to 2 gallons peanut oil, or other oil with a high smoking point
* 4 ounces of your own favorite liquid seasoning or marinade for injection
* 2 cups water
* Creole seasoning, Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic, or Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning to taste
* Kosher salt

INSTRUCTIONS
First, of course, you need the equipment to cook the turkey on and in. Try a gizmo called a King Cooker for outdoor use; it heats and cooks using a propane tank and stand. Otherwise, use a large, TALL, thick stockpot, preferably 30-quart sized or larger.

Heat the peanut oil to 350-365 degrees -- use a deep-fat frying thermometer clipped onto the side of the pot. Be VERY careful not to exceed this temperature, as the oil can begin to smoke and actually catch fire. Keep constant watch over the temperature and you'll be okay.

Using a flavor injector (available from cooking and restaurant supply stores and gourmet shops) inject your favorite marinade throughout the turkey.

Make sure the outside of the turkey is completely dry (you know what happens when water hits hot oil). Sprinkle the entire turkey generously with your favorite dry rub, Creole seasoning, Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic or Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning.
Sprinkle with kosher salt (omit if using Magic or Tony's, which is salty already). Rub the skin to make sure the dry rub sticks. When the oil hits 350 degrees slide that baby in -- gently, or you'll fry your feet if they happen to be near the oil that will splash out if you throw it in. The best way to get the turkey into the oil is to rig a cradle out of a couple of coat hangers.
Deep fry turkey for about 3-1/2 minutes per pound for a whole turkey,approximately 52 minutes for a 15 pound turkey, only 42 mintues for a 12 pounder!.
Remove the turkey from the oil carefully, and immediately wrap it with aluminum foil. LET THE TURKEY REST FOR 30 MINUTES before carving. Carry-over cooking will finish cooking the turkey outside
the oil, bringing it up to the proper temperature and allowing the juices to circulate back through the meat.
