DEEP-FRIED TURKEY WITH HERBS



Deep-Fried Turkey with Herbs image

Provided by Lauren Salkeld

Categories     Herb     turkey     Thanksgiving     Dinner     Deep-Fry

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12- to 14- pound) turkey, neck and giblets removed
4 to 5 gallons peanut or canola oil
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons dried thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons dried rosemary
1 1/2 tablespoons ground paprika
Equipment: Turkey frying kit (30-quart or larger aluminum pot; propane burner with a hose that connects to a propane tank and a gauge for regulating the flame; poultry rack with a hook for lowering and raising the turkey in the pot; 12-inch deep-fry thermometer that clips to the side of the pot to monitor the oil temperature); a full propane gas tank; a waterproof marker; an apron; long heavy-duty oven mitts; an instant-read thermometer; fire extinguisher-just in case

Steps:

  • Place the turkey in the empty fryer pot and cover it with about 2 inches of water. Remove the turkey from the pot, dry it thoroughly with paper towels, and set it aside at room temperature. Use a waterproof marker to mark the water level on the inside or outside of the pot so you know how much oil to put in the pot. Discard the water then wash and dry the pot thoroughly.
  • Arrange the burner on a flat surface far away from the house, garage, or anything that could easily catch fire. Place the pot over the burner and clip a long-pronged deep-fry thermometer to the side of the pot. Using the mark you made earlier, fill the pot with oil. Heat the oil until the thermometer reaches 375°F.
  • While the oil is heating, make the rub: In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and paprika. DO AHEAD: The herb rub can be prepared ahead and kept, in an airtight container, up to 1 month.
  • Starting at the neck end of the turkey, slowly and carefully slide your hand between the skin and the meat of the breast, thighs, and upper drumsticks to separate and loosen the skin. Spread the herb rub under the skin on the thighs, drumsticks, and breasts. Spread any remaining rub inside the turkey cavity and on top of the skin. To ensure good oil flow, make sure the neck cavity is wide open, and use a small sharp knife to cut a small slit through the skin where the leg meets the breast.
  • Place the turkey on the poultry rack, with the breast facing down and the legs facing up. Once the oil reaches 375°F, turn off the burner. Wearing an apron and long heavy-duty oven mitts, use the hook that attaches to the rack to slowly lower the turkey into the oil using a stop-and-go method-slowly lower the turkey 1 to 2 inches into the oil then pull it back out a bit, repeating until the bird is fully submerged. Turn the burner back on and bring the oil to 350°F. Throughout frying, adjust the heat as necessary to maintain the 350°F oil temperature. Fry the turkey for about 3 1/2 minutes per pound. Use the hook that attaches to the rack to slowly and carefully remove the turkey from the oil and place it on a cutting board or large rimmed baking sheet. Using an instant-read thermometer, test the fleshy part of the thighs and the thickest part of the breasts (test both sides, close to but not touching the bone); the thermometer needs to register at least 165°F. If not, use the hook to slowly and carefully lower the turkey back into the oil to finish frying. Once the internal temperature reaches 165°F, transfer the turkey to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let it rest 20 to 30 minutes before carving and serving.

DEEP-FRIED TURKEY RECIPE BY TASTY



Deep-Fried Turkey Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: salt, brown sugar, boiling water, ice, cold water, turkey, peanut oil, oven mitt, propane burner, deep fry thermometer, large pot, basket, s hook with handle

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb salt
1 lb brown sugar
6 qt boiling water
3 lb ice
4 qt cold water, enough water to cover turkey entirely
13 lb turkey, no larger than 15 lb (6.8 kg)
4 ½ gal peanut oil
oven mitt, or rotisserie grade oven mitts
propane burner, with sturdy stand that will hold your large pot
deep fry thermometer
30 qt large pot
basket, or hook or stainless steel kitchen utensil with wide bottom, long handle and looped top
s hook with handle

Steps:

  • DISCLAIMER: Deep frying a turkey can be dangerous if not done properly.
  • Determine the amount of oil you will need before you start. This turkey and pot required 4 ½ gallons (17 liter) of peanut oil, you may need more or less.
  • To determine the correct amount, place the turkey in the pot you will be using to fry. Fill it with water until it has just covered your turkey, that water level should also be at least 5 inches (13 cm) below the rim of your pot. Remove the turkey and see where the water levels off, this is the amount of oil you will need to fry the turkey. If the oil level is NOT 5 inches (13 cm) below the rim of your pot, use a taller pot. If too much oil is used, it will spill over when the turkey is lowered and cause a fire. If you like, as a precaution, turn off the propane burner before you add the turkey to the hot oil.
  • In a large pot, container or cooler with a lid, combine salt, brown sugar and boiling water to make the brine.
  • Once the salt and brown sugar have dissolved, cool down with ice.
  • Place your turkey into the brine mixture, add more cold water to cover your turkey entirely. Weight down the turkey with something heavy and cover.
  • Place the turkey in a cool place or refrigerator and let it brine for 8-16 hours.
  • Remove the turkey from the brine, discard the brine. Pat dry the turkey. Make sure it's entirely dry inside and out, border on very dry.
  • Let it sit at room temp for 30 minutes prior to frying.
  • While the turkey is coming to room temp, prepare your deep frying pot. The pot should be large enough to hold the turkey, oil and have enough room to contain the oil once it starts bubbling (recommend 30 quart/ 28-liter pot).
  • NOTE: Make sure the deep frying pot is clean and dry, any moisture in the pot will make the oil pop when it starts heating up.
  • Pour the peanut oil into the pot. You should have enough oil to just cover the turkey. Set over high heat on an outside propane burner. Bring the temperature of the oil to 350°F (180°C).
  • While the oil is heating up, prepare your turkey to submerge into the oil.
  • If you are using a turkey deep frying kit, use all the equipment provided (i.e. hook/basket, s-hook, retrieval handle). If not, take a stainless steel kitchen utensil with a wide bottom, long handle and looped top. Take the kitchen utensil and push the handle through the neck of the turkey. You want the wide part of the utensil to rest inside the turkey cavity. Take an s-hook with a handle attachment and loop it through the loop part of the kitchen utensil.
  • Wipe down the turkey again to make sure there is no moisture. Turkey is ready.
  • Once the temperature of the oil has reached 350°F (180°C), slowly and gently lower the turkey into the oil. SLOWLY AND GENTLY.
  • Fry the turkey for 3 minutes per pound (455 grams). For a 15 lb (6.8 kg) turkey, this will take 45 minutes. Make sure the oil temp is maintained at 350°F (180°C).
  • After 45 minutes, turn off your propane burner and then gently remove the turkey from the oil.
  • Place the turkey on a large baking sheet or carving board and check the temperature. Right out of the fryer, the breast meat should be at 150°F (65°C) and will reach 160°F (70°C) due to carry over cooking.
  • Let the turkey rest for 30 minutes before carving.
  • NOTE: Oil will be hot for a few hours after frying. Do not touch or dispose of until fully cooled.
  • Carve as desired.

DEEP-FRIED TURKEY



Deep-Fried Turkey image

Deep-frying a turkey might seem daunting, but if you follow the instructions and safety tips carefully, it can be a lot of fun and you can free up the stove and oven for all of those tasty Thanksgiving sides. If you're buying a turkey fryer to make this, look for a kit with a pot that has a spigot at the bottom to drain out the oil - a small but important detail that will make your clean up much easier and faster.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 10- to 12-pound turkey, thawed if frozen (do not remove from the plastic packaging)
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 small head garlic, cloves crushed and peeled
3 sprigs thyme
3 fresh bay leaves
Zest (removed with a vegetable peeler) and juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 to 5 gallons vegetable oil or other neutral frying oil

Steps:

  • To determine how much oil you will need for frying, set your turkey (still in the plastic) in your frying pot, legs up. Measure and add enough water just to cover the turkey. (There should be at least 6 inches between the water line and the top of the pot to fry safely.) Remove the turkey and water and dry the pot very well.
  • Combine the butter, broth, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over very low heat and cook until the garlic softens, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and let cool completely. Strain; reserve the liquid and discard the solids.
  • One hour before you are ready to cook, take the turkey out of the refrigerator and remove the neck and giblets. Pat the turkey very dry, inside and out. If there is a pop-up timer, remove and discard. Use an injector syringe to inject the butter mixture into the turkey, 4 or 5 places in each breast and 2 or 3 in each leg and thigh. (Inject as deep into the flesh as you can.) Pat dry if any of the mixture leaks out. Season the turkey inside and out with 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper and rub it in well.
  • Add the oil to the frying pot and heat to 350˚ F (if using a propane fryer, heat over medium). It should take 45 minutes to 1 hour to heat the oil. Once the oil reaches 350˚ F, using protective gloves, slowly lower the turkey into the fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • The oil temperature will drop 30˚ F to 40˚ F almost immediately. Adjust the heat so the temperature stays between 300˚ F and 325˚ F the whole time you are frying. Fry 3 minutes per pound. When the turkey is done, turn off the fryer. Using the gloves and the lifting rack, carefully remove the turkey from the oil to a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh; it should register 155˚ F. Let the turkey rest 20 to 30 minutes before removing from the rack and carving (the internal temperature will increase about 10˚ F). Make sure the frying oil cools completely before discarding, at least 4 hours.

Yield Serves 10, with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 cups Dijon mustard
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 gallons water
1 bunch thyme
1 head garlic, cloves separated and crushed
1 (10- to 12-pound) turkey
2 1/2 gallons vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Place the turkey in a large food-safe plastic bag inside of an ice chest large enough to contain it. To make the brine, in a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, mustard, salt, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Gradually whisk in the water, followed by the thyme and garlic and pour around the turkey in the plastic bag, submerging the turkey in the brine. Tie the bag closed, pack the cooler the rest of the way with ice, and brine for 24 hours.
  • Remove the turkey from the brine and pat dry inside and out with paper towels. Transfer the bird, breast-side up, to a turkey frying basket.
  • Place the turkey in the frying basket in a 30-quart stockpot and add enough oil to barely cover the bird. Remove the turkey (in the frying basket) from the stockpot and bring the oil to 400°F; this can take up to 1 hour.
  • Carefully lower the turkey into the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes per pound, about 30 minutes. Lift the turkey in the basket from the fryer and drain over a draining rack for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the turkey from the basket, carve, and serve.

DEEP-FRIED TURKEY



Deep-Fried Turkey image

This is an awesome Cajun recipe. Deep-frying makes the turkey crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside (even the white meat). It also leaves the heat outside! You can deep-fry the turkey in either peanut or vegetable oil, your choice. We use a 26 quart aluminum pot with a drain basket.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Whole Turkey Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 gallons peanut oil for frying, or as needed
1 (12 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
¼ cup Creole seasoning
1 white onion

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot or turkey fryer, heat oil to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Be sure to leave room for the turkey, or the oil will spill over. Layer a large platter with food-safe paper bags.
  • Rinse turkey, and thoroughly pat dry with paper towels. Rub Creole seasoning over turkey inside and out. Make sure the hole at the neck is open at least 2 inches so the oil can flow freely through the bird.
  • Place the whole onion and turkey in drain basket. The turkey should be placed in basket neck end first. Slowly lower basket into hot oil to completely cover turkey. Maintain the temperature of the oil at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and cook turkey for 3 1/2 minutes per pound, about 45 minutes.
