Deep Fried Turkey - Page 3

TheMercenary · 11-28-2008, 01:58 PM

Yea, the price nearly doubled this year for about 4.5 gallons. I think we paid around $40. But we only used a little over half of it. Check back in a day and I will have a link to the pics that show the step by step process as I did it. I took pics for the interested.

What is it that you injected into the bird before seasoning?

busterb · 11-29-2008, 10:12 PM

Breast down or up? I've see it up, never down. But I think down is a great idea. IMHO.

Well you can do lots of things, including buying something from the store, but I find that stuff to be way to salty.

I have always made my own. This one was 3 sticks of butter melted in the microwave. To that I added half a jar of onion dressing (for salads), garlic, salt and pepper.

I have made others that were teryaki, hot and spicey, cajun, jamacian jerk and a few others. There are also plenty of recipies on the web but I have not found any from there that really jumped out at me.

Breast up for prep, there is more meat that needs to be injected. I do make sure and flip it on the side and get the thighs.

Now complete with captions.

I don't know if I could ever do that, but if I did I would use the oil for something else first, maybe 30 pounds of sweet potato fries. I don't think I could reuse oil that was used to cook a turkey.

TheMercenary · 11-30-2008, 11:55 AM

Actually I poured some of it on our wood pile for the out door fireplace. But I can't have it where the dogs can get into it or they will make a mess trying to eat it. We poured the rest of it out in the woods for the critters to eat.

You can do it zippy. It is so much fun to do because it is so unconventional. Just follow the pics and do some on-line reading and jump in. I may do it again for Xmas.
