Thanksgiving Turkey

A baked Thanksgiving turkey is as American as apple pie. A dry, cottony, baked Thanksgiving turkey, that’s no way to enjoy a family get together. For years my dad has been frying turkeys whole. These turkeys come out juicy and flavorful, even the white meat is delicious and not dry.

Now, this is not for the faint of heart. Remember, you have boiling hot oil in play. See the link at the bottom of this page about safety issues involved.

There are a few things you will need to fry your turkey.

A propane gas burner and regulator to heat the oil
A Turkey Frying Set
A large pot - typically with a 30 quart capacity
A lifting rack to lower the turkey safely into the hot oil and remove it from the pot
A deep-frying thermometer to monitor the temperature of the oil
A marinade injector


Or go electric with this Turkn' Surf Electric Turkey Fryer & Seafood Kettle.
