Steps:
- DISCLAIMER: Deep frying a turkey can be dangerous if not done properly.
- Determine the amount of oil you will need before you start. This turkey and pot required 4 ½ gallons (17 liter) of peanut oil, you may need more or less.
- To determine the correct amount, place the turkey in the pot you will be using to fry. Fill it with water until it has just covered your turkey, that water level should also be at least 5 inches (13 cm) below the rim of your pot. Remove the turkey and see where the water levels off, this is the amount of oil you will need to fry the turkey. If the oil level is NOT 5 inches (13 cm) below the rim of your pot, use a taller pot. If too much oil is used, it will spill over when the turkey is lowered and cause a fire. If you like, as a precaution, turn off the propane burner before you add the turkey to the hot oil.
- In a large pot, container or cooler with a lid, combine salt, brown sugar and boiling water to make the brine.
- Once the salt and brown sugar have dissolved, cool down with ice.
- Place your turkey into the brine mixture, add more cold water to cover your turkey entirely. Weight down the turkey with something heavy and cover.
- Place the turkey in a cool place or refrigerator and let it brine for 8-16 hours.
- Remove the turkey from the brine, discard the brine. Pat dry the turkey. Make sure it's entirely dry inside and out, border on very dry.
- Let it sit at room temp for 30 minutes prior to frying.
- While the turkey is coming to room temp, prepare your deep frying pot. The pot should be large enough to hold the turkey, oil and have enough room to contain the oil once it starts bubbling (recommend 30 quart/ 28-liter pot).
- NOTE: Make sure the deep frying pot is clean and dry, any moisture in the pot will make the oil pop when it starts heating up.
- Pour the peanut oil into the pot. You should have enough oil to just cover the turkey. Set over high heat on an outside propane burner. Bring the temperature of the oil to 350°F (180°C).
- While the oil is heating up, prepare your turkey to submerge into the oil.
- If you are using a turkey deep frying kit, use all the equipment provided (i.e. hook/basket, s-hook, retrieval handle). If not, take a stainless steel kitchen utensil with a wide bottom, long handle and looped top. Take the kitchen utensil and push the handle through the neck of the turkey. You want the wide part of the utensil to rest inside the turkey cavity. Take an s-hook with a handle attachment and loop it through the loop part of the kitchen utensil.
- Wipe down the turkey again to make sure there is no moisture. Turkey is ready.
- Once the temperature of the oil has reached 350°F (180°C), slowly and gently lower the turkey into the oil. SLOWLY AND GENTLY.
- Fry the turkey for 3 minutes per pound (455 grams). For a 15 lb (6.8 kg) turkey, this will take 45 minutes. Make sure the oil temp is maintained at 350°F (180°C).
- After 45 minutes, turn off your propane burner and then gently remove the turkey from the oil.
- Place the turkey on a large baking sheet or carving board and check the temperature. Right out of the fryer, the breast meat should be at 150°F (65°C) and will reach 160°F (70°C) due to carry over cooking.
- Let the turkey rest for 30 minutes before carving.
- NOTE: Oil will be hot for a few hours after frying. Do not touch or dispose of until fully cooled.
- Carve as desired.

AB'S DEEP-FRIED TURKEY 2.0
I worked a long time to come up with what I consider a fairly safe, reliable way to deep fry a turkey. The device is simple but there are parts and connections involved and if you decide to build one for yourself, it's up to you to follow the instructions and of course, maintain the device in order to keep everyone in your zip code safe. However you decide to fry your bird, keep in mind that you're dealing with a large object that's full of water and a large pot of hyper-hot accelerant. So I'm not going to tell you to be careful, I'm going to tell you to be very, very careful. And always keep animals and kids (especially kids) away from the fry site. And, if you happen to be enjoying alcohol, remember that this does qualify as "operating heavy machinery." Always adhere to the turkey fryer's instructions and recommendations. Make sure the gas tank is set as far from the burner as possible. And no matter what, don't leave it unattended. Fire. Hot oil. You get the point. And, whatever you do, make sure the bird is completely thawed and drained of any liquid that could be hiding in the cavity. (You took out the neck and giblets, right?) Before you begin: Set up Alton Brown's turkey derrick (see video) or the fry rig of your choice with a UL-listed propane fryer rig set on level ground, away from any structures. Gather ingredients and equipment and measure out ingredients.

Steps:
- If brining, place the hot water, kosher salt and brown sugar into a 5-gallon upright drink cooler and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely. Add the ice and stir until the mixture is cool. Gently lower the turkey into the container. If necessary, weigh down the bird to ensure that it is fully immersed in the brine. Cover and set in a cool place for 8 to 10 hours.
- Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Place bird onto fry lifter and truss legs and wings, if desired, with cotton butcher's twine. Leave at room temperature for at 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- Set up Alton Brown's turkey derrick (see video) or the fry rig of your choice with a UL-listed propane fryer rig set on level ground, away from any structures. Lower the bird into a 30-quart pot and add enough oil to barely cover. (With the bird and oil in the pot, the oil should still be about 5 inches to the top edge of the pot.) Hoist the bird out of the oil and allow to drain thoroughly.
- Next, following the manufacturer's instructions, ignite the burner, setting the flame for medium-high heat. Use a deep-fry or other appropriate thermometer to check the oil temperature and bring to 250 degrees F.
- Slowly lower the bird into the oil and increase the heat to bring the temperature to 350 degrees F. (Depending on your burner, this should take about 15 minutes.) Once the oil hits 350, lower the heat to maintain 350 degrees F. Fry at this temperature for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, slowly hoist the bird out, carefully tying off the rope to secure. Cover the pot then carefully check the temperature of the turkey using a probe thermometer in the deepest part of the breast. If the temperature is lower than 151 degrees F, lower the turkey into the oil and monitor until 151 degrees F is reached.
- Then hoist the bird up, tie off the line, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a sheet pan. Rest the bird in this position for 5 minutes before lowering the bird so that the weight rests on the sheet pan. This will make it easier to remove the lifter from the line. (I always tie off the line in this position just in case.) Carefully transfer the bird to a carving board.
- Rest the bird for a minimum of 15 more minutes prior to carving. The bird should reach a final internal temperature of 161 degrees F by this time. Carve as desired.
DEEP-FRIED TURKEY
Deep-frying a turkey might seem daunting, but if you follow the instructions and safety tips carefully, it can be a lot of fun and you can free up the stove and oven for all of those tasty Thanksgiving sides. If you're buying a turkey fryer to make this, look for a kit with a pot that has a spigot at the bottom to drain out the oil - a small but important detail that will make your clean up much easier and faster.

Steps:
- To determine how much oil you will need for frying, set your turkey (still in the plastic) in your frying pot, legs up. Measure and add enough water just to cover the turkey. (There should be at least 6 inches between the water line and the top of the pot to fry safely.) Remove the turkey and water and dry the pot very well.
- Combine the butter, broth, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over very low heat and cook until the garlic softens, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and let cool completely. Strain; reserve the liquid and discard the solids.
- One hour before you are ready to cook, take the turkey out of the refrigerator and remove the neck and giblets. Pat the turkey very dry, inside and out. If there is a pop-up timer, remove and discard. Use an injector syringe to inject the butter mixture into the turkey, 4 or 5 places in each breast and 2 or 3 in each leg and thigh. (Inject as deep into the flesh as you can.) Pat dry if any of the mixture leaks out. Season the turkey inside and out with 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper and rub it in well.
- Add the oil to the frying pot and heat to 350˚ F (if using a propane fryer, heat over medium). It should take 45 minutes to 1 hour to heat the oil. Once the oil reaches 350˚ F, using protective gloves, slowly lower the turkey into the fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- The oil temperature will drop 30˚ F to 40˚ F almost immediately. Adjust the heat so the temperature stays between 300˚ F and 325˚ F the whole time you are frying. Fry 3 minutes per pound. When the turkey is done, turn off the fryer. Using the gloves and the lifting rack, carefully remove the turkey from the oil to a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh; it should register 155˚ F. Let the turkey rest 20 to 30 minutes before removing from the rack and carving (the internal temperature will increase about 10˚ F). Make sure the frying oil cools completely before discarding, at least 4 hours.
DEEP-FRIED TURKEY
As every politician since Huey Long -- or possibly Madison himself -- has said, ''We can do better.'' And in Louisiana, they have, by doing the unthinkable: deep-frying an entire turkey in a bubbling vat of peanut oil or lard. The result is delicious, surprisingly ungreasy and fast. (A 14-pounder cooks in 49 minutes -- 49 minutes!) I've made five of these things, and comments have ranged from ''This is the best turkey I've ever eaten!'' to ''This is the best turkey I've ever eaten!'' with nary a discouraging word. Deep-frying must be done outside, which means you will need a propane tank. In New York City it is illegal to cook with propane gas except in large gardens or outdoor spaces of single-family dwellings. It should work fine in a yard, where your fryer can double as a defensive weapon in case of intruders scaling your wall. In case the oil overflows, place a large bowl and a ladle next to the pot. Also, just before lowering the bird into the oil, and again just before taking it out a scant 49 minutes -- 49 minutes! -- later, turn the flame off for the same reason.

Steps:
- Eight to 24 hours in advance, make the brine by sauteing onion, celery and garlic in butter until tender. Add hot peppers and Worcestershire, then stir in the salt, cayenne and black pepper. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
- Strain into a bowl, pressing the solids to extract as much juice as possible, to yield about 1 1/2 cups.
- With monster hypodermic, inject the turkey's breast in five places and each leg in one place.
- With your bare hands, rub the cayenne into the turkey's breast under the skin. Omit if you don't like the flavor -- though it's very mild in this quantity.
- Refrigerate, uncovered, for 8 to 24 hours. Or if you prefer, you may fry the bird immediately.
- On the day you plan to eat it, remove the turkey from the refrigerator, place it in the empty fryer pot and cover with water. Then empty the pot, measuring the water to find out how much oil you'll need (usually about 5 gallons for a 14 pounder).
- Dry the pot very thoroughly and fill it with the same amount of oil or lard, attach the extra-long thermometer and heat the oil to 350 to 375 degrees. Just before lowering the bird, turn off the flame to make absolutely sure that Mr. Peanut's essence won't start a fire. Then pierce the turkey with its holder and lower slowly into the oil. Boil for 49 minutes or longer (3 to 3 1/2 minutes per pound).
- Remove the turkey, drain excess oil and rest it on a platter for 10 to 30 minutes. Slice and dive in!

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large stockpot or turkey fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Make sure the fryer is located outdoors in a safe area, preferably on dirt or pavement, and far away from buildings, wooden decks, or other objects. Keep a fire extinguisher handy, just in case.
- Ensure that the turkey is completely thawed. Cut any extra skin away from the neck area and make sure neck hole is at least an inch in diameter. Pat the bird completely dry with paper towels, then rub liberally with salt and pepper on both the outside and the inside. Place the turkey into a drain basket, neck-side first.
- Working slowly and carefully, gently lower the basket into the hot oil to completely cover the turkey. Maintain the temperature of the oil at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and cook turkey for 3 1/2 minutes per pound, about 35 minutes.
- Carefully remove basket from oil, and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh; the internal temperature must be 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Once the turkey is done, remove from the oil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Place the turkey in the empty fryer pot and cover it with about 2 inches of water. Remove the turkey from the pot, dry it thoroughly with paper towels, and set it aside at room temperature. Use a waterproof marker to mark the water level on the inside or outside of the pot so you know how much oil to put in the pot. Discard the water then wash and dry the pot thoroughly.
- Arrange the burner on a flat surface far away from the house, garage, or anything that could easily catch fire. Place the pot over the burner and clip a long-pronged deep-fry thermometer to the side of the pot. Using the mark you made earlier, fill the pot with oil. Heat the oil until the thermometer reaches 375°F.
- While the oil is heating, make the rub: In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and paprika. DO AHEAD: The herb rub can be prepared ahead and kept, in an airtight container, up to 1 month.
- Starting at the neck end of the turkey, slowly and carefully slide your hand between the skin and the meat of the breast, thighs, and upper drumsticks to separate and loosen the skin. Spread the herb rub under the skin on the thighs, drumsticks, and breasts. Spread any remaining rub inside the turkey cavity and on top of the skin. To ensure good oil flow, make sure the neck cavity is wide open, and use a small sharp knife to cut a small slit through the skin where the leg meets the breast.
- Place the turkey on the poultry rack, with the breast facing down and the legs facing up. Once the oil reaches 375°F, turn off the burner. Wearing an apron and long heavy-duty oven mitts, use the hook that attaches to the rack to slowly lower the turkey into the oil using a stop-and-go method-slowly lower the turkey 1 to 2 inches into the oil then pull it back out a bit, repeating until the bird is fully submerged. Turn the burner back on and bring the oil to 350°F. Throughout frying, adjust the heat as necessary to maintain the 350°F oil temperature. Fry the turkey for about 3 1/2 minutes per pound. Use the hook that attaches to the rack to slowly and carefully remove the turkey from the oil and place it on a cutting board or large rimmed baking sheet. Using an instant-read thermometer, test the fleshy part of the thighs and the thickest part of the breasts (test both sides, close to but not touching the bone); the thermometer needs to register at least 165°F. If not, use the hook to slowly and carefully lower the turkey back into the oil to finish frying. Once the internal temperature reaches 165°F, transfer the turkey to a cutting board, cover with foil, and let it rest 20 to 30 minutes before carving and serving.

- Use a fresh turkey, or leave enough time for a frozen turkey to fully thaw. A small sized turkey (8-10 pounds) is usually the preferred option for frying, while 12-14 pounds is generally regarded as the maximum size to deep fry a turkey.
- Remove the wrapper, label, or other materials from the turkey, and take out and dispose of the neck and giblets.
- Add the preferred type of oil to the fryer and make sure to avoid exceeding the maximum fill line. Prepare the fryer by preheating the oil to 400° F.
- While you are waiting for the oil to heat, use paper towels or similar to pat the turkey dry.
- Also, this is a good time to marinade the turkey. If planning to add flavors, marinades, or seasonings, you may want to puree the ingredients to make it easier to pass through the injector.
- Once the preferred seasonings or flavors have been injected, avoid leaving the turkey sitting on the counter-top or roasting pan for longer than 30-45 minutes.
- When the oil has reached the right temperature, it is possible to carefully lower the turkey into the deep fryer. Even though the full-size turkey might not be fully immersed in all fryer models, this shouldn’t cause any issue with the cooking process.
- Set the timer to the proper cooking time in relation to the size/weight of the turkey. Refer back to the label that was previously removed from the bird.
- Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the turkey. Cook white meat (breast and wing muscles) to a temperature in the region of 165-170° F.
- Once the turkey has completed its cooking cycle and reached the right internal temperature, carefully remove it from the deep fryer and place it on paper towels, a basket, or a rack to give it time to fully drain.
