"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.

A little more well done than we like it, but still tasted good, and was not too dry. Caught it right in time though, so next time I will not add the 5 minutes on and see how that works.
