Deep Fried Turkey
1 11-14 lb whole turkey 3 ts Lemon pepper 2/3 c Wishbone
italian dressing 1 ts Onion powder 1/3 c Sherry the real stuff
not c 2 ts Cayenne pepper 2 ts Garlic powder 5 ga Peanut oil
Mix all the ingredients wall and place in an injection syringe.
If it doesn't pass through the nedle holes you may have to
strain the marinate. Inject the marinate into all parts of the
bird. Place the bird in a large plastic bag and allow to
disperse throughout the bird for at least 2 hrs. Turn the bag
and massage teh bird from time to time. Optionally you can make
a rub of the dry ingredients and rub over the surface of the
bird after the first hour of marinating. Preheat the cooking oil
in a kettle large enough to hold the entire bird. to 350-375.
Tie the legs of the bird together with wire. It helps hold the
bird together and provides a way to lift it in and out of the
oil. Carefully place the bird into the oil and fry 3 1/2-4 min
per lb. You should carefully time your cooking as each cooker
has it's own peculiarities. The resulting bird is tender and
tasty and very juicy.
*Note: While not a BBQ dish, deep frying turkeys is definitely
an outdoor cooking technique.
