Deep Fried Turkey

[Swamphunter]

I LOVE deep frying turkeys and have just purchased an injector and some Butter/Garlic marinade and can't wait to try it. Any other good marinade you suggest?

[Snipe]

Heres one I use...

1 c Italian salad dressing
1/2 c Lemon juice
3 T Onion juice
3 T Garlic juice
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1 T Liquid smoke
1 1/3 oz Cayenne
1/4 c Salt

Mix all ingredients ...Let stand overnight in refrigerator... Inject all through turkey... Put turkey and marinade in a large plastic bag and keep in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days....
Remove in time to bring to room temp before cooking.

Thanks Snipe, that sounds good, think I am going to give it a try! I copied and pasted it to an email and emailed to my wife for her to buy whatever ingredients we don't already have.

That sounds really good. We will have to try it out too. Thanks for the recipe.

i try that alor but what i do is first cut the turkey into small chunks and then i dip it into an egg. after that i then roll it in Andy's Fish Seasoning. it is awesome. i know it sounds kinda gross with fish seasoning but it is awesome. try it sometime

I took the wild turkey I shot last year, soaked it in milk and garlic for about 4hrs, then deep fried it, all I can say is YUUUUMMMMYYYYYY!!!

I really need to get into this turkey frying deal. I have never heard anyone say something bad about it!

[mitrrophybowhunter]

me too tedicast!!!!!

Deep fried turkey is good without injecting anything into it too!! Just a little salt & pepper and some gravy, and it's go time. Deep fried turkey can't be beat.

I was just going to try to inject plain butter just to give it a little something this year. Sometimes the injection sites are a touch overpowering.

I gotta go eat breakfast. Thanks to you I'm drooling and my stomach is growling now!

If you want just a plain one ...The best one I had done was by a chef in the Dallas area. He is a friend of my neighbors

Items you need.

12-16 Lb. Bird
5 Gal. Bucket
1 cup of salt

Fill bucket about half way... Add salt and dissolve in the water... set bird in and cover ...Leave in salt water over nite or up to 24 hours...

Cook as would any other bird and I think you will be really surprised how juicy and moist it is..And the flavor is great too...

Enjoy Guys....

Oh yeah! Brining can make a big difference. Does he wash the bird off before frying or does the oil take care of that?

I"ve only had deep fried turkey twice and but both times I enjoyed it tremedously. I've been meaning to pick one up so I can make it myself but I just never get around to it.
