OIL/GREASE LEVEL DETERMINATION for frying Whole Turkeys/Chickens
Follow the 6 steps below to determine the proper amount of oil to use in cooking vessels that do not have
maximum fill lines.
1. Place the raw poultry upside down on poultry rack.
2. Place the poultry and poultry rack into the empty vessel.
3. Add water into the vessel until the food product is almost submerged. There must be a minimum
of 3 inches between the water level and top of the vessel.
4.
Remove the poultry from the vessel and either mark the level on the side of the vessel or measure
the depth of water in the vessel. This water level indicates the amount of cooking oil needed to cook
the food product.
NOTE: Cooking oil/grease will expand when heated and increases the level inside the cooking vessel.
As turkey size increases, the required amount of oil decreases.
5. Remove the water and completely dry the vessel and the food product.
6. Add cooking oil into the vessel up to the indicated level. The desired amount of cooking oil for frying
turkeys typically
ranges from 3 to 3.5 gallons. The maximum amount of cooking oil to use in this
vessel in 3.5 gallons.
