EMERIL'S FRIED TURKEY

You will need a turkey rig to fry the turkeys and syringes to inject them.

Provided by Emeril Lagasse

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup Emeril's Creole Seasoning (Essence), recipe follows
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon liquid Zatarian's Concentrated Crab and Shrimp Boil (optional)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
pinch ground cloves
1/4 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 cup salt
3/4 cup honey
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer
1 tablespoon cayenne
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon salt
2 turkeys (8 to 10 pounds each)
about 10 gallons peanut oil
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • To make the marinade: Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process for about 5 minutes. Fill a syringe and inject each turkey in the breast and thigh area, as well as the back, wings, and legs. You will have to fill the syringe several times. Next, combine the seasoning ingredients and rub the mixture evenly all over each turkey.
  • Place the turkeys in large plastic bags and secure before icing them down or refrigerating them for 24 hours.
  • To fry each turkey: Fill a large pot three quarters of the way full with the peanut oil and heat the oil to between 350 and 360 degrees F. Place 1 turkey in the basket insert and carefully and slowly lower it into the hot oil. Turn the turkey every 10 minutes, using long-handled forks. A whole turkey will take 3 to 5 minutes per pound to cook. It is done when the internal temperature reaches 170 to 180 degrees F on an instant read meat thermometer. Carefully lift the basket out of the hot oil. This can be done by inserting a broomstick through the handles and having two strong people lift the basket out of the pot. Using the long-handled forks, transfer the turkey to a large brown paper bag and let stand for about 15 minutes before removing to carve. Repeat the procedure for the second turkey. Carve the turkey and serve with the other traditional side items.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Time 3h

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 22

3/4 c Honey
2 tb Lea & Perrins worcestershire
1/4 c Apple cider
1 tb Allspice
Fire-safe gloves and pot
1/4 ts Cayenne
40 qt Pot with basket; burner and tank (40 to 60)
Meat thermometer to test
Fire extinguisher
1 tb Crab boil
2 8-pound Turkeys (up to 14-pounds)
1 bottle beer
1/2 c Essence or Creole spice
1 pn Clove
Seasoning injector
1 c Salt
10 ga Peanut oil
1/2 tb Cayenne
Candy thermometer to measure
Safety goggles
1 tb Salt
1/4 tb Black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Season and cure the turkey with salt, pepper and cayenne. Rub seasoning on skin and let sit overnight. 2. In a blender, add all the wet ingredients and then the dry ingredients to make the marinade. Puree on high for 4-6 minutes. Make sure all ingredients are completely pureed and add to an injector. 3. Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Depending on the amount of oil used, this usually takes between 45 minutes and one hour. (To determine the correct amount of oil, place the turkey in the basket and place in the pot. Add water until it reaches 1 to 2 inches above the turkey. Remove the turkey and note the water level, using a ruler to measure the distance from the top of the pot to the surface of the water. Pour out water and dry the pot thoroughly. Be sure to measure for oil before breading or marinating the turkey.) 4. While the oil is heating, prepare the turkey as desired. 5. Once the oil has come to temperature, place the turkey in the basket and slowly lower into the pot. Whole turkeys require approximately 3 minutes per pound to cook. Remove turkey and check internal temperature with meat thermometer. The temperature should reach 170 degrees F in the breast and 180 degrees F in the thigh. Turkey parts such as breast, wings and thighs require approximately 4 to 5 minutes per pound to come to temperature. Recipe copyright C 1998 Emeril Lagasse Fryer Beware: Safety Tips Remember youre dealing with gallons of dangerously hot oil, so make sure there are no kids or pets running around. And you want to wear some old shoes that you can slip out of easily and long pants just in case you do spill some oil on you. Place fryer on level dirt or grassy area. Never fry a turkey indoors, in a garage or in any other structure attached to a building. Avoid frying on wood decks, which could catch fire, and concrete, which can be stained by the oil. Never leave the hot oil unattended and dont allow children or pets near the cooking area. Allow the oil to cool completely before disposing or storing. Immediately wash hands, utensils, equipment and surfaces that have come in contact with raw turkey. Turkey should be consumed immediately and leftovers stored in the refrigerator within two hours of cooking.

CAJUN DEEP FRIED TURKEY



Cajun Deep Fried Turkey image

The popularity of Cajun Deep Fried Turkey has grown considerably over the last decade. If you like the taste of a deep fried turkey then it is well worth all of the prep and time it takes to have this on your Holiday menu.

Provided by Timothy H.

Categories     Whole Turkey

Time 1h35m

Yield 14 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

14 lbs turkey, completely thawed (up to 20)
brine for turkey, and you will need to do this for
1/2 cup salt
2 gallons water
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian dressing
1/2 cup creole seasoning (Tony Chachere's)
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
4 fresh garlic cloves, minced
3 sprigs fresh thyme (up to 4)
1 sprig fresh rosemary (up to 2)

Steps:

  • Prepare Thanksgiving Deep Fried Turkey:.
  • First you will want to Marinade or Brine your Turkey for at leat 8-12 hours for extra flavor and to make sure it is really moist. You will need a pot big enough to keep in your refrigerator for the 8-12 hour period to keep your Turkey inches You will mix all ingredients together, and add your Turkey and the marinade to your pot, and cover, and add to the refrigerator overnight. I like to put the fresh herbs directly into the cavity of the bird for a little extra flavor. When you are done marinading you are ready to cook your Turkey.
  • How to Deep Fry a Turkey:.
  • You will need a completely thawed turkey, a couple gallons of oil, and a very large cooking pot. You can use canola, vegetable oil, but it is better if you use peanut oil. You will also need to truss the turkey, meaning you need to secure the legs, neck flap, wings and tail to the body of the turkey. Make sure that there is not any type of thermometer or device that will pop out on the turkey. It would melt into the oil, not a good thing.
  • To determine the perfect amount of oil you are going to be using, place the turkey in the pot and add water until the turkey is completely covered plus an inch or two left from the top. If you do not have any room for extra water you will need to get a larger pot. You will then remove the turkey and measure the amount of water left, and this is the amount of oil you will need to fry your turkey.
  • You will now dry and season your turkey, and make sure that your frying pot is completely dry. You can add any seasonings you like; I prefer to inject my seasonings directly into the bird. You can also add you cooking pot to your stove top and heat to make sure all water is gone before adding to your outdoor fryer heating source. Once completely dry you will add the oil to the pot and bring it to a temperature of about 375 to 400 degrees. Make sure that you are able to get a good read on the temperature. It may fluctuate a few degrees depending on the weather while cooking outside but it should not be that big a deal. You just want to make sure that you are cooking in a covered but ventilated are. If it is raining or snowing it will make your Turkey frying experience for a really bad day.
  • This is where it gets tricky. The turkey needs to be room temperature and dry. Turn off the burner when you put the turkey inches You are going to lower the turkey into the pot of very hot oil 400 degree oil. The oil is going to splatter some and you will need some very good cooking gloves. They sell different styles of racks to lower your bird into the oil at Wal-Mart, Lowes, and Home Depot. Just remember to very, very slowly lower your turkey into the hot oil. A good method here is dunking your turkey, and I do not mean cannon ball either. When you lower your turkey into the hot oil it will boil up. This is why I suggest turning off the burner or heat source when you do it. You may have to do this multiple times and then one time might do the trick. Just make sure that the oil does not overflow the cooking pot.
  • Once the bird is safely resting in the oil, turn the burner back on to get to a temperature of 350 degrees. At this point you can go take a breather. But don't wander too far because that turkey will be done soon. A deep fried turkey cooks at a rate of about 3 to 3 1/2 minutes per pound. A ten pound turkey should take 30-35 minutes. If you have a bio thermometer you will need to test the turkey for doneness. The internal temperature needs to read 160 to 165 degrees. Make sure you are testing between the thigh area, and not hitting a bone to get a correct read.
  • Remove the turkey from the oil when it's done. Do this slowly and after you have turned off the burner. Let the turkey drain a little bit and you're set to go. Let it rest for about 15 to20 minutes and then carve and enjoy this crisp and delicious bird.
