Fried Turkey

Send this to anyone deep frying a turkey 👇

1. On Saturday before Thanksgiving start thawing the turkey, I prefer using a pasture raised turkey no bigger than 12lbs to fry
2. Tuesday wet brine the turkey to help it retain moisture when cooking
3. Put the turkey in the pot you’re going to fry it in and pour water over it, remove the pot and mark the line for how high to fill the pot with oil so it doesn’t over flow on Thanksgiving
4. Wednesday morning pat dry the turkey and place uncovered in the fridge to dry out
5. On Thanksgiving take the turkey out of the fridge 3 hours before cooking, tie the legs together, season and inject with compound butter
6. Start preheating the oil an hour before cooking
7. Right before putting the turkey in, turn off the flame and make sure the turkey is completely dry + thawed
8. Slowly lower the turkey into the oil then turn back on the flame after it’s fully submerged cooking for 3-4 minutes per pound (pull when internal temp reaches 155 F) 
9. Let the turkey rest for 30 minutes prior to carving (it will rise in temp to between 165 F - 170 F) 

Any questions that you have, don’t hesitate to dm me or comment below

Hope you enjoy!
