In this article, we're going to show you how to deep fry a turkey to obtain the maximum flavour, with some safety tips to make sure your turkey frying experience is both pleasurable and safe. Whether this is your first time deep frying a turkey or you are a veteran with the turkey fryer, here are five tips on how to deep fry a turkey. Follow those ideas and you are sure to end up with a fabulous fried turkey.
How to Fry a Turkey
Safety first! While deep frying a turkey may be the coolest technique to cook a turkey, it is also the most dangerous. Here are some tips to keep your deep fried turkey experience a secured one:
* Lower your turkey into the oil GRADUALLY to avoid spills and burns, keep in mind this is hot oil you're cooking this bird in!
* Keep a fire extinguisher and plenty of potholders close by, hopefully you will not need either, but better safe than sorry.
* Never fry your turkey indoors (unless you're using an oil-less turkey fryer).
* Avoid frying on wood decks; turkey fryers should be operated on a dirt or grass plane to avoid catching the house on fire; concrete surfaces need to be avoided as they could stain if you spill any of the oil.
* Never leave hot oil unattended, and always keep kids and pets away from the cooking place.
Size matters: When frying a turkey, birds that are 12 pounds or less work much better than larger turkeys. Anything larger will take longer to cook, which will result in tough skin or turkey that's dry and tasteless.
Adding flavor to your turkey: Among the great things about deep fried turkey is all the turkey fryer recipes available. When you are learning how to deep fry a turkey, you'll see that you can add flavor to your turkey in many ways including using an injector to get excellent marinades inside your turkey, or dry rubs just like you would use if you're grilling turkey.
Oil Selection: When choosing an oil to cook your turkey, you'll want an oil with a high smoke point so it won't burn. The best oils are peanut, corn or canola oil. We love the taste of peanut oil so generally use it when doing fried turkey.
How long to cook a turkey: When deep frying turkeys, your cooking time is much shorter than more traditional methods of cooking. A whole turkey could be deep fried in less than an hour; the same size turkey would have to be roasted for several hours if cooking in an oven. When deep frying, whole turkeys should be cooked for 3-4 minutes per pound. While frying separate turkey parts, fry for 4-5 minutes per pound. The oil temp should be maintained at 350 degrees when frying.
I hope you enjoyed those tips on how to deep fry a turkey. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
