There has been a lot of talk of late about the possibility of using a turkey deep fryer in order to take care of a life size bird for gatherings. If you have never tried this before, you’re really in for a treat as it provides you a moist bird that is crispy on the outside. If you use the right turkey rub recipes and the right kind of equipment, the job can be done very quickly and it will be one of the most hot dishes that is on the table.
The broad guidelines for how to deep fry a turkey state that it takes roughly three minutes per pound in order for the turkey to be finished properly. It is important, however, that you fully heat the oil early of putting the turkey into the Fryer and that you check the temperature of the turkey after taking it out in order to make sure that it is finished by rights.
Depending on the size of your turkey deep fryer, you will also want to generally keep the bird at under 15 pounds in order for it to be completed properly.
The type of turkey deep fryer that you use, really depends on what kind of choices you are looking for.
