Yeah, if you get 2 identical turkeys one can be the bathtub turkey and the other can be the one you fry. Personally I dont care either way since I'm the one bathing with the turkey, so I know everything is clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice when people want to know how to cook the perfect turkey: "ask your butcher for a rib roast instead." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I used to work in insurance and there were every year calls from people setting the house on fire. Please be safe and do not use a frozen turkey or too much oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 22 hours ago, teef said: from everything i've read, these are the steps. i have 6 gallons of peanut oil, so i should be good there. the pot has a maximum/minimum fill line, so i'm good there too. my rub is going to be salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a random cajun spice i found. If you're going to use a rub - put it under the skin. You can get to the meat pretty easily in a turkey. Brining is really easy. Do it overnight tonight. It'll be ready tomorrow in time for your rocket-inspired deep-fry lift-off. Alton's brining and deep frying instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 12 hours ago, Captain_Quint said: To find the volume of the turkey and how much oil to use, take the turkey in the bathtub with you. Subtract your volume when you and the turkey get in the water, and now you know how much oil to use. I normally just use my old toaster which is about the same size and weight of a turkey.

I’ve found that method works best if you plug it in before getting into the tub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how did it go ? Inquiring minds want to know.....or not, but I am curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
