Are you using propane or electric? I do mine in the garage and my fryer is electric.No problem. But I agree safety first.

Mine is electric. Use it right on my kitchen island. Don't know why some are acting like electric fryers are so dangerous.
Just the usual precautions like any other cooking device. It has a line in there for the level of oil and don't overstuff it with a large bird. I can fit a 12-14 pound bird in mine. We mostly fry a chicken about once a month or so.
With peanut oil, you can drain it from the fryer, filter it with a fine strainer or cheesecloth and put it right back in the bottle. You can use the oil over and over for max of 2 years I think I read somewhere before.
As long as you don't cook something off like fish, you won't throw off the scent/flavor in the oil. Turkey, chicken or duck is all poultry so all the same. When the oil starts to smell rancid, then dump it. I usually keep the oil about a year.
It is electric and table top. Do my every year since they came out.
Legendary deep fryer here.
Get you an electric fryer period. Fuck all that other hazardous situation shit.
Follow the rules exactly. whatever the pound limit is, follow it.
If you're going max size, fill it 3/4 to the max line. to give it room to breathe when you drop the bird in.
Bird better be completely thawed out. take it out a few days before cooking. Bird better be completely dry. No wet seasoning, its absolutely pointless.
Not going to tell you what I use for seasoning.
Injections. You win with injections. Think of a Russian female gymnast at the height of the cold war. That's how much juice you give the bird.
Everybody says cook at 4mins a pound. I'm black and want a completely cooked turkey that looks good too.
5minutes a pound
good luck

Nah man, I must of done over 100 birds by now, never had any of that happen.
Most of those fires are cause of either a frozen bird (dumb) or most importantly the oil level is too high and overflows down to the fire on an outdoor fryer.
I have an indoor electric fryer for about 7 years, it's a beast. Masterbuilt brand.
Like this:
I've had this before, it's similar to rotisserie, but thing is, it is longer use of propane, takes 3 times as long to cook. Oil frying is 3 mins average per pound, these things takes 10 mins per pound, almost an hour and a half to cook a regular turkey. Also the plus is you can put things inside the bird like veggies or stuffing where as you can't do that in a oil fried bird.
Exactly. I use an electric with peanut oil.
Put so much damn creole butter injection in that fucker it looks like a sieve.
Get your oil early; like this week! Fuck around week of holiday and they run out you be turkey less. %100 peanut oil! I waited to late like this one year and ended up getting a peanut/blend and wondered why that shit would not get hot enough to fry. Smoking point was to high on this type of oil so I ended up boiling a turkey in oil with one of them propane set ups. This was my second attempt at frying a turkey, and the only failure I had. Still ate that bih doe!

i tried that on one of my turkeys for the first time last year.
i always smoke 2, cuz of the large number of people that always come over.
id laugh at that if i hadn't tasted it and if it wasn't gone about an hour after that pic was taken lol
keep em coming though you'll get it right
Anyone ever use coconut oil for deep frying turkey.
that sounds dangerous as fuck. i don't know coconut oil to be one of those oils you can use at extremely high temps for long periods of time.
i could be wrong.
I googled it, it safe but I'm wondering how it taste.
LmaoWear flip flops
Coconut oil is the best choice for stability of long cook times and health, but the smoke point is only 350 deg. While peanut oil is 450 degrees. Most birds should be 325-350, so you will be essentially borderline burning that oil.
On top of that, why would you even consider coconut oil, that thing has gotta be way expensive buying by the gallons. My deep fryer uses like under 3 gallons, can't even imagine how much that has got to cost in coconut oil along with the fact that coconut oil at room temp is more solid or hardens, why are you even considering this?
im not....i'm just asking to see if it taste better than peanut oil.
You don't taste the oil in deep frying. Not the same as something fried in a pan. Cause it's submerged, the oil just locks the juices in the meat and when it comes out, it's basically dry after it cools and not oily at all.
Soak the turkey in Brine solution (Water, salt, apple cider, and brown sugar) for at least 24 hours before cooking.
Cook the turkey in a V rack breast down for the first 1-2 hours (depending on size of turkey). This allows the juices to cook down into the breast meat and make it super juicy.
Flip the Turkey over and cook the rest of the time on its back
Got you but someone said they tasted a difference when they ised vegetable oil
..or due to mofos dropping the turkey in instead of lowering it in slowly(like my Russian immigrant neighbor did a few years ago..all i heard next was "YIIIIAAAAAAAAPATIOONFIREAAAAAAAA!!" spent Thanksgiving in the burn unit
)
Been deep frying turkeys the last three years and them joints came out GREAT!
Someone mentioned peanut oil, that's the lick.
We had a propane frier from Walmart stainless steel with a timer. Didn't look fancy just a tall pot look like something you could cook with on the stove.
Put the oil in and let the oil heat up just like if you was cooking fried chicken or French fries.
We had a frier lid with a hook on it so you can lower the turkey into the frier pot and when you pick up the top you lift the turkey out.
The turkey usually finishes in 10-20 minutes or less depend on the heat. The first turkey we fried for 12 minutes it came out golden brown goodness. Omg!
Last year we deep fried it and put this garlic sauce on it mixed with soy sauce and garlic slices inside. That turkey didn't last not an hour out of the deep frier it was so good. If was juicy as fuck. We had do frier two more.
I definitely recommend deep frying your turkey this year. It was some of the best turkey I've had.

It was some of the best turkey I've had.i can vouch for this electric fryer. i have a propane setup and i really prefer my electric fryer
I just bought this one...the reviews were great.
I fry mine in an old drum I found next to a power plant. Now I never ate the turkeys I made in it, but I've given it to my baby's mother and some coworkers. they said it was good...real good.
His last time deep frying a turkey
thats almost like how my neighbor who i mentioned had done it..only that crazy fool was standing next to the pot
Welp! those greens,mac and cheese never looked so good by themselves.
Does it taste like fried chicken?
Not if you brine first.
Da hell?!?!
That's the one I bought. Never tried a 22 pounder probably never will. But I did do a 20 and it was perfect.
