A few wks ago had 2 fryers going at the same time...one a turkey, injected with creole/butter seasoning (picked up at Dick's Sporting Goods). Don't inject through the skin....it needs to stay in tact to hold all those juices. Like others said watch that temp, it can get away from you real fast. One important note, if you're frying on a patio make sure you protect it...I laid out some sheets of metal on the ground as there will be a little splash here and there....whatever you do don't freak out and drop the bird in too fast. Make sure the burner is off when you're dropping it in. I'll take it up to about 370 turn the burner off, drop the bird and turn it back on...Good Luck..
If he followed your directions i don't see how it would't be good. Spotts on Originally Posted by spotts How'd yer turkey come out dude?

Read stuff like http://www.turkey-fryers-online.com/...ey_recipe.html and good luck Pat! Any hot chicks coming over??? atta boy,spotts also,make sure bird is dry-you can use a dry rub on the skin and fry it 3 1/2 minutes per pound @ 350

Do what the others have said (maybe, halon's hard to come by) but the one thing that helps ours turn out good, is take your trusty Fluke 52 (or whatever you have) and put an insertion probe in the thigh and cook it until it's 160-180, all of ours have come out nice and juicy

Olive oil, and whatever spices you like. I like a little sage and thyme.

Fried Turkey Been quite a while since I posted anything on here, but I'm BAAAAACK :-) Here's my question. This sunday I'm having people over, and I am going to be frying a turkey. What do you all inject the turkey with before frying it? Last year I didn't inject it and it came out dry as a bone. What do you suggest?
