INGREDIENTS

Texas Deep-Fried Turkey

DIRECTIONS

  • Clean and dry turkey thoroughly. Remove neck and giblet bag from the small cavity in the front, as well as the large body cavity. Use these items for making stock.
  • Generously season inside cavity with salt , pepper and cayenne.
  • Heat oil in cooking pot large enough to submerse turkey in hot oil. For safety's sake, equipment for deep-frying outdoors is recommended.
  • Heat oil to 350°-375°. When oil is hot, using a sling of strong twine or string or a lifter that comes with a turkey-frying kit, lower turkey into hot oil. Cook about 5 minutes per lb or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reaches 180°
