Instructions on how to fry a turkey:
Start out by setting the level of your oil correctly.
1) Put unseasoned turkey in empty fryer pot
2) Fill with water until it’s 2-3 inches below the top of the Turkey
3) Take Turkey out
4) Mark water level
5) Empty pot and fill with oil to line
6) Make sure to drop the Turkey in very slowly
You need to know the safety tips for deep frying.
1) Protect your property. Cook away from the house in the yard if need be.
2) Fully defrost your turkey
3) Dry the turkey thoroughly (water and oil don’t mix, especially when hot)
4) Raise temperature of oil to 375 degrees. It will drop drastically when you put in a cold Turkey.
5) CUT THE FLAME OFF BEFORE YOU START DROPPING IN THE TURKEY IN CASE YOU HAVE AN OVERFLOW. Cut the flame back on once the oil is stable.
Instructions:
1) Ensure your turkey is completely defrosted and dry!
2) Inject your turkey, (you really can't overdo this part)
3) Use a little spray oil for a binder
4) Season
5) Truss it and get it on the turkey hanger
6) Preheat your oil to 375, drop it in (cut the flame off first) and relight once the turkey is in to hold around 325
8) Once your thermometer says 157 pull the turkey! (about 3.5 minutes per lb.)

Great video, I’ll definitely be trying out your guy’s turkey tactics. Much love from Arizona

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Thanks bro! Tag us on Facebook and show us how it turns out!

[@sinclairwalker5271]

One tip - if turkey comes in a bag, leave in bag and do the water measurements so you don’t have to have turkey water and fry it additionally

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

We’ve done it both ways. I like to have my turkey dry in the refrigerator for 24 hours, so it’s coming out of the bag anyways, and it accounts more accurately for the cavity of the turkey and the giblets that are taking up space in the bag. Either way works for sure.

[@pottsoutdoors8617]

That turkey look dumb fire 🔥🔥 makes my mouth water with excitement. Will be trying this recipe after seeing these good looking men putting in that work.

[@rh.645]

I brine my turkey in salt water and brown sugar The night before dry it off good and put it in my butterball electric turkey fryer right on my kitchen island for about 45 minutes it comes out great and would never go back to a roasted turkey 😋

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Sounds good!

[@jamiet9254]

Great video!! And I’m gonna need one of those shirts!

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

We’ll have to do a merch order one day soon 🤌🏼

The way that turkey looked i give it a 10 looked good im hungry.

[@johnbailey9020]

I recommend unless you have a potable water hose to use a clean picture of water.😊

Great video

Thank you!

[@fernandovazquez4725]

Hi I love the instruction in the video although I'm curious. What's the name of the acoustic soundtrack in the back round, sick. I want to play it in the background on Thanksgiving. While I fry the turkeys.😅

Where do you get your oil from? The prices around me have seemed to skyrocket. Even Amazon wants $80 for 3 gallons of peanut oil but i need more than that. 😵‍💫

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Sam’s club!

[@dkajj]

@@HoundHogsOutdoors mine doesn't carry peanut oil, only "pure clear frying oil." It has a high enough smoke point, but isn't peanut oil supposed to be better and make crisper skin?

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Might be seasonal. Fry oil would probably be fine just slightly different flavor.

[@dkajj]

@HoundHogsOutdoors well, that would be fine then, as fry oil is only $41 for 4.5 gallons. Peanut out is going for between $55 and $80 for 3 gallons..... and I need 4.5.

[@dkajj]

@@HoundHogsOutdoors also, ty for replying!

[@boydbratton4012]

Did y’all switch it up from the Cajun pitgrit because of the sugar content or just to do something different?

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Still love the Cajun pit grit! Just decided to put in an easier to obtain product for this years recipe.

[@boydbratton4012]

@@HoundHogsOutdoors awesome that’s what I figured!

[@daniellewillis2767]

Question: what's the best substitute for peanut oil? I have BAD peanut allergies...

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Maybe try “fry oil” from like Sam’s club or vegetable oil.

[@daniellewillis2767]

@@HoundHogsOutdoors thanks

[@unaffected_covid]

(3:02) I guess every turkey desires a happy ending?? 😳

[@coplock6689]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm wondering about the 325 degrees part? Most other videos say to fry it at 350. Can you tell me how you came to 325 and does it make a big difference at the end??? Thanks in advance for any response

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

I’ve found not trying to push the temp too high after the bird is already in makes for a better color on the outside. Run it to 350 and you risk it getting dark on you, especially if there is a little sugar in your rub. Think of it as low and slow frying, but I wouldn’t go any lower than 325.

[@coplock6689]

@@HoundHogsOutdoors Awesome thanks. Yeah, I've seen some black ones out there. LOL Thanks for the response and great video.

[@corywilliams6140]

Did he really snort the Tony's 😂😂😂

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

He actually did. One of the dumbest things I’ve seen anyone do… but at least he knows it was fresh!

[@Duckman501]

Note that the inside of water hoses are often full of bacteria that can be harmful

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Not sure it matters since it’s going to be heated with the oil to 370 degrees! Also, we drink out of water hoses and it ain’t killed us yet!

Great video. Very much appreciated there wasn't lots of unnecessary dialogue. Had my first fried turkey last week and plan on frying one myself for Christmas and will use all of your suggestions. Advice: IMHO, please consider real old peckerwoods like me that are hard of hearing when determining the volume of the background music. Sometimes KZbinrs drown themselves out and ruin their own production. This one, for me, was close, but okay. I'm more interested in what you're saying than anything else. Have an AWESOME Holiday Season!

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Thanks for watching! Good luck on that Christmas turkey 👍🏼
