"This is a great way to cook a turkey. So moist and juicy on the inside and the skin is nice and crispy!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Mix together the garlic powder, sage, onion salt, ground rosemary, paprika and pepper; set aside.
Step 2
Place the turkey into the turkey fryer pot and just cover with water; Remove the turkey and mark the water line with a marker.
Step 3
Discard water and wipe the turkey pot dry.
Step 4
Pat the turkey dry and rub with the spice mixture; set aside.
Step 5
Pour the oil in the turkey fryer up to the marked line and place over the heat source. (We use a propane burner)
Step 6
Bring the oil to 350 degrees and carefully dunk the turkey.
Step 7
The temperature of the oil will decrease so bring it back up to 350 degrees and fry turkey for 3 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes per bird.
Step 8
Remove the turkey from the pot. (We use a hook that came with our turkey fryer but I have seen others use a fry basket which makes it easy to lift the turkey out.)
Step 9
Allow the turkey to cool for about 15 minutes before carving it.
