|
| Ingredients |
| 10 to 12 Pound WHOLE TURKEY, non
self-basting |
| 2/3 Cup vinaigrette |
| 1/3 Cup dry sherry |
| 2 Teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
salt |
| 1 Teaspoon garlic powder |
| 1 Teaspoon onion powder |
| 1 Teaspoon cayenne pepper |
| As needed peanut oil |
| |
- Remove the giblets and neck, rinse the turkey well with
cold water and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Take
care to dry both inside cavities. To allow for good oil
circulation throughout the cavity, do not truss or tie legs
together. Cut off the wing tips and plump little tail as
they may get caught in the fryer basket.
- In a medium bowl, mix vinaigrette, dry sherry and
seasonings together. Strain the marinade.
- Place the marinade in an injection syringe. Inject the
marinade in the turkey breast, thighs and legs.
- Place the bird in a large plastic bag, refrigerate and
marinate for at least 2 hours. Turn the bag and massage the
turkey from time to time.
- Drain the turkey from the marinade and discard marinade.
Place the turkey in the fryer basket or on a rack, neck
down.
- Place the OUTDOOR gas burner on a level dirt or grassy
area. Never fry a turkey indoors, in a garage or in any
structure attached to a building. Do not fry on wood decks,
which could catch fire, or concrete, which could be stained
by the oil. (Safety tip: have a fire extinguisher nearby for
added safety.)
- Add oil to a 7-10 gallon pot with a basket or rack. At
the medium-high setting, heat the oil to 375 degrees F,
(depending on the amount of oil, outside temperature and
wind conditions, this should take about 40+ minutes).
- When the oil temperature registers 375 degrees F on a
deep-fry thermometer, slowly lower the turkey into the hot
oil. The level of the oil will rise due to the frothing
caused by the moisture from the turkey but will stabilize in
about one minute. (Safety tips: to prevent burns from the
splattering oil wear oven mitts/gloves, long sleeves, heavy
shoes and even glasses. It is wise to have two people
lowering and raising the turkey.)
- Immediately check the oil temperature and increase the
flame so the oil temperature is maintained at 350 degrees F.
If the temperature drops to 340 degrees F or below, oil will
begin to seep into the turkey.
- Fry about 3-4 minutes per pound, or about 35-42 minutes
for a 10-12 pound turkey. Stay with the cooker at all times
as the heat must be regulated.
- When cooked to 170 degrees F in the breast or 180
degrees F in the thigh, carefully remove the turkey from the
hot oil. Allow the turkey to drain for a few minutes.
(Safety tip: allow the oil to cool completely before storing
or disposing.)
- Remove turkey from the rack and place on a serving
platter. Allow to rest for 20 minutes before carving.
- NOTE: Use only oils with high smoke points, such as
peanut, canola or safflower oil. To determine the correct
amount of oil, place the turkey in the pot before adding
seasoning and add water until turkey is covered. Take turkey
out of the water before marking the oil level. Measure the
amount of water and use a corresponding amount of oil. Dry
the pot thoroughly of all water.
