DEEP-FRIED TURKEY WITH GARLIC LEMON MARINADE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all of the marinade ingredients to a small saucepan. Stir the ingredients over medium heat and cook until all the ingredients have dissolved and are well blended. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Remove all contents in the cavity of the turkey and remove the leg ties and the pop-up indicator (if one has been inserted in the breast). Clean turkey under cold running water. Be sure to clean and rinse the cavity also. Pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Dry the surface and cavity thoroughly. After the marinade has cooled, prepare to inject the turkey. If minced garlic was used instead of garlic powder, strain the marinade to remove any pieces that may not go through the injection needle. Before injecting in the turkey, whisk the marinade to blend the ingredients together. Fill the injection syringe with marinade. Begin injecting the turkey. When injecting the turkey, make as few punctures as possible. Distribute to different areas in the puncture area by pull the needle just partial out and then inserting at different angles. Inject approximately 2 to 3 ounces into each breast and 1 ounce into each leg and each thigh. Dry the turkey off thoroughly again with paper towels. Place the turkey in the frying basket or on the rack, depending on the type of fryer being used. Prepare turkey for deep-frying according to the deep-frying instructions for the type of fryer being used. Cook the turkey at 350°F for 3 minutes per pound, plus 5 minutes. Do not overcook, but the breast should have an internal temperature of at least 170°F and the leg/thigh should be 180°F. When properly cooked, remove it from the cooker and allow the oil to drain from the turkey. Tent foil over the turkey and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before carving.

HOW TO DEEP FRY A TURKEY (VIDEO)

Steps:

• Season the turkey by mixing the turkey spice ingredients together and rubbing the Dry Turkey Rub all over the turkey. Rub under the turkey skin where possible, and rub the leftover rub inside the turkey cavity.
• Add the ground dry ingredients of the marinade injection into a pan with butter and oil. Melt them together and allow to cool slightly before injecting into the turkey. *
• Inject the warm marinade by stabbing the turkey deeply, and depressing the plunger of the marinade as you pull out. Inject the breast and thigh meat, and even the drumsticks.
• Fill your turkey fryer pot with oil up to the fill line (see water dispersion method above) and heat the oil to 160°C/325°F. Carefully and slowly, lower the turkey into the oil, feet pointing up. Do not drop the turkey quickly, otherwise the oil will overflow dangerously.
• Set a timer. It takes 3-½ minutes per pound (500 grams) to cook the turkey. For a 12 pound turkey, this will take 42 minutes. Check to see that the turkey is golden brown in color, remove and check that the internal temperature is 165°F-170°F (75°C) in the breast. If the oil begins to smoke, or is higher than 325°F, lower the temperature
• Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and allow to rest for about 20 minutes, which ensures the turkey will be juicy. The turkey keeps cooking and I find the skin goes even darker when resting. Place on a cutting board and carve.
• During the turkey rest time, drop some sliced potatoes into the oil for an easy tasty side with your turkey.
