Not Your Grandpa’s Fried Turkey - How to Fry a Turkey

Let’s get after it! There aren’t many things better than a deep fried Turkey.
Here’s what you’ll need (Rubs can be found at houndhogsbbqsupply.com)
Use promo code "KZbin" for 10% off.
1) Steak Shake (or another All Purpose seasoning)
2) Cajun PitGrit (or another Cajun rub)
3) 12-14 lb Turkey
4) Turkey Fryer kit & Propane
5) Butcher Twine
6) Avacado Oil
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) Rise temperature of oil to 380-400 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.
So how to you cook the turkey?
1) Start with a clean, trimmed, dry turkey. Spray it with some kind of neutral flavored cooking oil as a binder.
2) Season liberally with Steak Shake and Cajun PitGrit
3) Follow the above safety tips, and drop the turkey in.
4) Cook for 3-4 minutes per pound. Begin checking internal temperature with a Thermapen after 30 minutes.
5) Remove at 165 in the white meat, rest for 5-10 minutes, and enjoy!
We hope you enjoy this recipe, it’s been a classic family recipe for years.

I could just see the oil label enough to note that you used peanut oil. I just mention that for anyone viewing who was curious. I've deep fried plenty, but this Thanksgiving will be my first go at a whole turkey. Thanks for the excellent and entertaining instruction! Wish me luck.

I've been frying turkeys longer than either of you have alive. Cudos to yall. You're the only video I've seen correctly instructs the safest way to fry a turkey. Except, never put anything flammable under your pot. You properly taught how to measure the amount of oil to put into your pot, caveat oil expands when heated. Good on you for stressing the most important safety step of TURN OFF THE DAMN FLAME when lowering the turkey into the pot! Remove the ignition source. You also need the following, the pot lid and tongs handy as well as a fire extinguisher and a buddy. Just the ramblings of an old Cajun that has been frying turkeys for years hell I have several fryers, grills and smokers. Down here we also do cochon de lait during the holidays. Whole roasted young pig.

This year it’s you guys! 1 thing I appreciate that yall did was share the fact that oil never regained the desired 350 temp, and also shared various temp reading throughout the bird. I always struggled to regain 350 after the drop and thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks for the great video

@@HoundHogsOutdoors had a weird outcome tonight if anyone cares. 16+ lb bird - dropped it in at 375F. Couldn't get the temps above 300 after I put it in. "They" say "3 and 1/2 minutes per pound after the temp gets back to 350. But it took like 20 minutes (and I put the lid on to get the temp back up - so there was about 15 mins. of frying that I wasn't timing). Pulled it 10 mins early because my internal temps were reading 195-205. Looked/smelled burnt. Couldn't let it rest past 10 minutes (anxiety and dread of possible overcooked Christmas dinner). Cut into it - and was amazed. Lots of happy faces at the dinner table. Next time I'll start the timer as soon as it's in, then cover it, and see how that goes. It was delicious, and the skin was amazing. But I don't like being scared like that haha!

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

@@biffjohnson2076 well you did the right thing and trusted your instincts, went by internal temperature, not time, and checked on the bird throughout the cook. My oil typically doesn’t get all the way back to 350, but I also don’t push it real hard to do so. As long as the bird is cooking and it’s getting good color and crisping up good, I let it ride. Where was it temping 195-200?

@@HoundHogsOutdoors thanks for the kind words. I hadn't done this in 2 years, so I was definitely out of practice. The breasts were reading 195 and the darker meat was reading 205.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

Most chef's have moved on from the pot to the Dutch oven. Here is the correct way to fry a turkey. Much safer and not near expensive. A whole lot better control of the cook. From JH Coffee Lab to the kitchen of Chef Jerry, I am about to show you how to really deep fry a turkey. Over time new ideas come about or found that were already out there how to prepare or cook food. About 1992 I was introduced to deep fried turkey. A friend that I worked with was telling me about his dad deep frying a turkey. I had never heard of it so I became interested. He said to me, why don’t we do one for Christmas. In my shop at Richland maintenance I had a kitchen setup we used for occasional cooks when the weather was bad or we were working around the shop and I had time to cook for the crew. So he brought the pot and out of the can selling money we bought the turkey and fix-ins. He injected it Italian salad dressing and put it in the oil. That turkey caused me to purchase a large pot for the house and that is when I started deep frying turkey’s. My first pot was way to big and it took way too much oil. Later I bought the right pot for the job and for many years I deep fried turkey’s for my family and friends. Today I don’t really care for it but rather have my turkey in a cooking bag and baked in the oven. Now over time I learned how to really deep fry a turkey that very little people do. First, get rid of the big pot you call your turkey pot. It is not the right way to get the perfect turkey and it can also be very dangerous in the hands of the first time chef trying to impress their friends. You will need a large cast iron dutch oven. One that you can put two thighs and two legs in at the same time The turkey should never be over 14 pounds. If that is not large enough for you, purchase two turkeys. Now just like a chicken cut the turkey into ten pieces. Two thighs, two legs, two wings, and four breast.Cut the turkey between the breast then cut the breast cross ways to have four pieces. Canola or veggies oil is best. Do not purchase peanut oil. That is for restaurants. They use it because of the flash point and being able to use it for several days. A misconception in the turkey frying world. It is also heavy to the taste. Get the oil to 370 degrees as it will drop when you add the turkey. First in goes the thighs one at a time to keep the oil if you can to stay around 350 degrees. Add both thighs and both legs. You can also add the back pieces if you have space. It should take about 20 to fry the thighs. Make sure you have a thermo pin to check the temp inside the meat and when it get to 165 to 170, take out and rest it on some paper towel in a deep pan. In goes the breast and wings. Keep an eye on the color and temp of the breast and wings. The reason this method of frying a turkey is superior to the pot cook, it the ability to control the heat of each piece. So many people using the pot burn up the wings and breast trying to get the thighs done. I have seen so many turkeys pulled from the pot and the cooks just oooooing and ahhhhhhhing over the turkey that is burned to a crisp with two inches of bone showing on the legs and the wings totally destroyed. As for prepping the turkey, if you like rubs, have at it. If you like to inject, have at it. If you want a really crispy skin, salt down the turkey a day before and put it in the refrigerator uncovered. The salt and air will dry out the skin and it will for sure be more crispy. If you cook your turkey until it is dark as Barack Obama, you totally screwed up the meat. Another great recipe by Chef Jerry

[@KIRBBQ]

Nice looking bird and good tutorial!

[@andrewmccarthy4144]

Good turkey school video. I really like that you stress the safety issue. One thing everybody leaves out is the REASON to make sure the bird is completely dry before lowering it into the oil. When that moisture hits the hot oil it instantly flashes to steam. That's what all the steam and splashing are as you lower the bird. If it is done too fast, you actually have explosions of the water flashing to steam. Like a boiler explosion. Actually, your bird was not dry enough. You were engulfed in a cloud of steam. There must be a better way to dry out a turkey. Hair dryer?

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

I typically leave it in the fridge over night to dry. It’s hard to do when you have one day to shoot a video so we did the best we could. I actually have 3 turkeys drying in the fridge right now!

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Sounds like a good time to me! I did 5 turkeys this year. Prime Rib for me for Christmas! 🤌🏼

[@r.tizzle3696]

When you water marking the line , do not open the turkey to measure your line , leave it in the wrapper submerged it in water so you know exactly where the line is and you can do a pre game for this

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

That could work! Only issue would be that the cavity in the turkey will change the water levels once it’s opened. Either way would be fine!

[@r.tizzle3696]

I’ve been doing this for 15yrs it works , so you do not have to open the turkey to mark the water level , you do this a day ahead so the turkey will be dry

That is a 30lb pot. We have a updated video this weekend coming out where we used a 60 and it was much better, but more expensive to fill with oil. You will be fine if you take the time to set the oil level like we showed in the video and cut the flame off before you put the bird in just in case. 30qt is standard, which is why people get themselves in trouble if they don’t take all the proper steps!

When do you take the turkey out of the freezer? It's a 14.5lbs turkey. This is my FIRST year making a turkey (someone else always makes it) and I just want to make sure I give it enough time to thaw completely. Should I marinate it days in advance? I saw you seasoned and injected it all in the same day. Is this the BEST way to do it?

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

If you inject, you don’t need to marinade it. I would take it out of the freezer 3-4 days before, and maybe take it out of the cryovac the day before and pull any remaining ice out. Then leave it in a pan in the fridge until the next day.

MOST WHO HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO DO THIS SAFELY NEVER CHECK THE AMOUNT OF OIL NEEDED TEMP AND NEVER SHUT OFF THE BURNER BEFORE LOWERING THE TURKEY.

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Shutting off the burner is 🤌🏼

11:29 what language is that?

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

It’s from the language of the burnt tongue tribe. It translates to, “that bite was too hot!”

probably a repeat comment but u.should specify "ACTUAL BUTTER...NOT MARGARIGNE..." most folks nowadays don't know the difference.

[@davechmura7573]

Ya forgot to tell them to use Peanut Oil. That’s so ya have no spark up

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Is that a thing? If so, I didn’t know that!

[@davechmura7573]

@@HoundHogsOutdoors I fry Turkeys every year and I seen you used Peanut Oil. It will not start a fired if there is a overspill that’s all

[@urbanwarchief]

The american dream

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

That’s right!

[@williewade1]

NEVER use the term "DROP" when you do this. You slowly lower the turkey into the oil. Dropping it in will definitely cause that hot oil to splash all over the place. I have been frying turkeys for years, and never had a splash problem, ever.

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

I believe context gives a clear understanding of how to do it safely! We will slowly lower rather than drop from now on!

[@williewade1]

@@HoundHogsOutdoors Beautiful. Yes, some, especially those who don't fry foods, will hear the word "Drop", and that is exactly what they will do.

[@Kaluna3]

Can you use vegetable shortening to fry the Turkey

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Vegetable oil? Yes. Not sure how well shortening would work.

[@rickardnolan8213]

Why not just stick the turkey in and fill it up with oil, set the turkey an a tray and then stick it back in after the oil comes to temp?😮

[@HoundHogsOutdoors]

Sounds a lot messier to me lol but hey whatever floats your boat.

I think you wasted a 20lb bird, do some homework dez ''NEVER'' deep fry a bird over 16-17lb, 10-14 is perfect!!!
