Cajun Injector® Deep Fried Turkey
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 35-45 Minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
1 Cajun Injector® Propane Fryer
3 Gallons Cajun Injector® Cottonseed Oil
1 10 - 12 Pound Whole Turkey
2 16 oz. jars Cajun Injector® Creole Butter Recipe Marinade
1 8 oz. canister Cajun Injector® Quick Shake® Cajun Shake®
Method:
Place the outdoor gas burner on level dirt or grassy area. Never fry a turkey
indoors, in a garage, or in any structure attached to a building. Do not fry on wood
decks, which could catch fire, or concrete, which could be stained by the oil, (have
a fire extinguisher nearby for added safety). Add oil to a 7 to 10 gallon pot with a
basket. At medium-high setting, heat the oil to 350°F (depending on the amount of
oil, outside temperature and wind conditions, this should take about 20 to 40
minutes). Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey. Cut off the wing tips and
plump little tail as they may get caught in the fryer basket. Rinse the turkey well
with cold water, and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Take care to dry inside
the cavity. Place in a large pan and inject with 2 ounce per pound of Cajun Injector
Creole Butter Recipe Marinade. Season liberally inside and out with Cajun Injector
Quick Shake Cajun Shake. To allow for good oil circulation through the cavity, do
not truss or tie legs together. Place the turkey in basket, neck down. When the
deep-fry thermometer reaches 350°F slowly lower the turkey into the hot oil. The
level of the oil will rise due to the frothing caused by the moisture from the turkey
but will stabilize in about 1 minute, (to prevent burns from the splattering oil wear
oven mitts/gloves, long sleeves, heavy shoes, and even glasses. It is wise to have
2 people lowering and raising the turkey). Immediately check the oil temperature,
and increase the flame so the oil temperature is maintained at 350°F. If the
temperature drops to 340°F or below, oil will begin to seep into turkey. Fry about
3-1/2 minutes per pound, or about 35 to 45 minutes for a 10 to 12 pound turkey.
Stay with the cooker at all times, as the heat must be regulated. When cooked to
170°F in the breast or 180°F in the thigh, carefully remove the turkey for the hot oil.
Allow the turkey to drain for a few minutes. Remove the turkey to a cutting board
and cover with foil. Let it rest for 20 minutes. Slice the turkey and serve hot.
