I put the turkey in the fryer pot, then fill with water to a level that I know will be safe, then mark it. Remove turkey and water, then put in oil to that mark. |

I agree with Harry and oven roast ours. Nothing finer than the smell of turkey cooking in the oven all day. You cook your turkey all day? That must be like eating sand! |

Do you drink some 'shine' along with the fried turkey? Are you always a racist prick or do you just show your true colors on public holidays in USA?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - What was racist about that remark? It may have been discriminate, but he never mentioned any one race. |

I tried this recipe one time, after Alton Brown was talking about why you should never stuff your turkey. It truly is the best Turkey I have ever had. http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/reci..._17081,00.html Since I love the Turkey juices in the stuffing, I purchase turkey necks to make the stock for the stuffing/dressing. I have had that recipe - it is very good. Looks like a good recipe- I would just make sure to use a non-self basting turkey since they are already brined and would not benefit much, if at all, by this recipe. |

Nope, not redneck. Redneck is under a garbage can, with a beer can, some tinfoil, and a pile of charcoal. That's how my friends neighbor does it down south, and ole' Jim Bob is about as redneck as you can get... You should see what he can do with a potato and a hunk of tubing;) |

And one important part many forget is to stay within the reccomended size limits (turkey) for your setup. With most setups you should stay under 13 or so pounds, and do not use the standup holder, use the basket. No doubt, there is a chance of disaster, that's why I do not drink and fry;) The new indoor electric ones are probably safer than the outdoor propane fueled ones. |

With the basket you can take the same turkey, use much less oil and have a much greater buffer from the surface of the oil, to the top of the pot. DISCLAIMER!! You must however make sure your turkey is tilted up enough so there are no closed air pockets in the cavity. I lay it over on its back, and neck down, and split up the belly a bit to make sure it is good and open. In my rig, a 13 pound turkey sits at about a 45degree angle, perfect.. If you use the stand up rack they provide with say a 13 lb turkey, you might need as much as 4- 4.5 gallons of oil to cover it all the way up, leaving you only scant inches between the top of the pan, and the oil level while cooking. If you tilt over the same turkey, you can use slightly over 3 gallons, and have a good 8-10 inches from oil to top, while cooking.... This has been my exerience. |
