Step By Step Instructions: Brine, Inject, And Deep Frying A Turkey

[@brentstewart5577]

Great job Jeremy. I'll be doing this for the third time on Christmas and I always watch your video once again before I do it. Very helpful, and a great tasting bird!

[@paullinson5092]

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. You saved me just before christmas.. YOU ROCK!!!!

[@ROJO25]

So many mistakes here, but I too have made them. Experience is hard earned. First and foremost don't cook by time, ALWAYS cook by temperature. Insert a meat temp probe in thickest part of breast and monitor temp throughout the cook. Don't use a lid when frying turkey, will trap heat and can lead to an overcooked bird, ESPECIALLY when mistakenly cooking by time. Pull the turkey from the hot oil when breast temp reaches just 150-155°, drain and allow to rest loosely covered under foil. Otherwise, if you mistakenly pull at recommended done temp of 165°carryover heat is guaranteed to overcook and dry out your bird defeating the purpose of brining in the first place. Been there and done that. I got lucky and somehow nailed my first fried turkey years ago creating annual demand for it, but got worse results each successive year because one, I didn't really know what I was doing, and two, I only cooked it just once a year, not affording enough experience to timely master it. Other important adjustments I made was to fry only 14 lb birds (or less) in fresh peanut oil (no peanut allergies here) and set oil temp NO HIGHER than 335°. That's crucial for a resulting highly appetizing color for your finished bird. Moreover, I only buy fresh never frozen birds that ARE NOT pre brined. I do my own brining. Williams & Sonoma sells an Autumn Fruit & Spice Turkey Brine that's much, much better than anything I've ever created so it's my annual go to. Some years I also inject a marinade other times I don't. Both ways are good. When I do inject I pierce the bird just once in each half of the breast. Using the same hole pull the needle almost, but not completely out, and simply turn it to inject marinade all throughout that side of the breast and do the same on the other half. Same method for the legs and wings. You don't want a lot of piercings in your bird leaking moisture contributing to a dry bird. Minimize the piercings. Once I made these corrections my fried turkeys went from barely better than roasted or smoked, to spectacular tasting AND looking. There is no comparison.

on it. great comment

[@jclay8682]

Nice tips. I’ve been searching trying to figure out y brined bird come out darker than dry rubbed birds

[@johnpost7773]

Followed this recipe last year and it was so good I’m back here to do it again.

[@sergio91321]

Same here! Great video and thank you for the recipe!

[@brianmcmahan6719]

Me too!!!

[@therealtweezie3744]

He burnt the legs off that turkey 😂😂😂😂

[@hecg83]

Shit he burned the whole Turkey 😂

All that brown sugar made it burn 😂😂😂

😂😂😂

[@SuggonDeez-p8j]

If you use brown sugar in rub, it flash cooks the skin as soon as it touches the peanut oil.. it's not burnt

Yes indeed …. Yes indeed

[@gabeskee210]

Gotta make it happen….

[@stevedamon7831]

The brine recipe is on-point. I used my own flavor injector flavoring and use Dano's as my rub. Definitely will use all else as a benchmark and I even went out and bought myself a LOCO cooker. Happy happy!! 😁

[@vitorusso1542]

Great video and funny comments.. I used the LOCO Fryer Kit for turkey and fish fry and I highly recommend them. The kit was packed and constructed with great care.

[@marcmcdonald853]

That turkey looked like a crow by the time he was finished...😂😂😂. I was really with it the whole way until I saw the finished product.

[@injuryrehabclinic]

😂😂

[@triciagarcia1560]

omg!!! BEST BRINE EVER!!! I GOT SO MANY COMPLIMENTS ON FLAVOR, THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[@michaelmichael3574]

Boy that Turkey blacker than Wesley snipes

[@brianmcmahan6719]

Sir, I cannot thank you enough for this video. Last year was my 1st time attempting to fry the turkey and your video was such a huge help! Going to do it again this year. That brine recipe is awesome!! Thank you again for such a helpful video. Wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving!

[@derektaylor3078]

Great video man , but you burnt the hell out that bird . Lol I couldn’t wait to get to the comments lol

[@gerryhouseknecht2411]

All the people on here saying the turkey is burned obviously have never fried a turkey. Great recipe, thanks so much! The brine is amazing!

[@melvin8852]

No. That turkey is burnt as hell, I would’ve gave it to my dog if I had an outcome like that. I fry my turkey every year for thanksgiving and it never looks like that. Also it didn’t help that he put the lid on the pot neither. He cooked that turkey to hell.

[@73richg]

You burned the shit out of that bird lol

[@triniharp8745]

Dam dude what did you do

[@martinlevario9864]

I reference this video every year

[@firstfamily8514]

That Turkey was Black Friday ready the one thing everyone for gets is to give it some Air in between

[@Mtvrdik10]

Is there a setting on this deep fryer to keep the temp at 350?

[@gzus1482]

Yes the Loco deep fryer shuts it off automatically if it starts going over.

[@bill16126]

Mmmm, it has a sensor that turns it off if it doesn't sense the pot... but there isn't any temperature control to keep the temp at 350. You have to watch it and adjust the flame to control the temp.

[@Mtvrdik10]

@ round 1 with the turkey went excellent. Round 2 with the calamari also went excellent! This year I’m doing the same stuff, I may cook it just a little less time this go around though. It was still great and juicy, but seemed to dry out just a tad about 10-15 minutes later. If I pull it out 2-3 minutes earlier, I think it’ll be perfect. When it came out black I was scared as shit. Thought it was burnt 🤣🤣

[@ChrisLincolnHomes]

I believe the lid is to stay off during cooking.

[@sonnytx6975]

No it’s suppose to stay covered

[@ChrisLincolnHomes]

@@sonnytx6975 nope.

[@topdawgentlv7029]

I believe keeping it covered helps the oil come back up to temperature

[@jerrymurtland4609]

I followed it step by step today and it was the best turkey I have ever had. Thanks! Happy turkey day!

[@marianmcoy7816]

Is it very spicy?

[@Jewelrymaker]

LOL! That bird is crispyfried. :)

[@daviderickson115]

That Cajun rub did it I believe. If there was any paprika in it, that burns easy. I thought it was an unnecessary step. The brining alone was fine.

[@fluffsmama]

Where did you buy the bucket?

[@aliveandwell2078]

Great old school style video!

[@evanwainwright1289]

What makes the red man red?

[@aimeehalquist5220]

How much water? It looks like you are adding salt and brown sugar to water?

[@ton8098]

He said 2 quarts in the beginning of the video

[@MightyNaz94]

You guys need to understand it’s a turkey not a steak. It’s been fried to perfection 😋. Thank you so much for this lovely video 🌹

[@Nickcoasttocoast]

its was burnt to hell wtf are you talking about LOL

[@scottyreed2454]

Apparently you never deep fried a turkey that’s the way they come out and there Delicious!!

[@adamcoker5604]

No way you've ever deep fried a turkey. I bet the internal temp was 200°

[@s1234pro]

Please stop the background music. Makes it harder to hear you.

[@terricotta9]

Yes safety first... with four beers in the background. Lol

[@slowjamcdub]

🤣🤣🤣🤣. That was the blackest turkey I’ve ever seen deep fried LOL

[@paulmacdonald7068]

What kind of propane to use

[@kicknit3935]

Yes

[@icyscenic6783]

Great tutorial, but if your going off the ingredients list in the description, don’t forget to get onion. It’s not listed

[@Kevin-jw1oj]

My family hates spice you think it would be good without the jalapenos??

[@triciagarcia1560]

I used this brine twice last year and I don’t remember any heat from the jalapeños just good flavor

[@saleen235]

Is red your favorite color?

[@nickpizzoferrato]

So do we just put the bird in the hot brine I mean after steeping for an hour it's not going to be cool down enough to not cook the bird while it's soaking overnight or am I wrong?

[@Conflictedhots]

I know it's a year later but you are right, brine needs to cool enough to not cook the turkey

[@infiltretor287]

He mixed cold water into that bowl

[@ton8098]

He said he mixed cold water with it before he put the turkey in

[@wessmugg]

That turkey’s credit score dropped 100 points and got 3 new felonies by the end of the video 😫

[@duanezamora3781]

Black friday...? Black turkey friday!!!!

[@anthonyowens1555]

😂😂😂😂😂 you started off good, but you know you messed that bird up right😂😂😂😂

[@varh6169]

I thought it was just me 😭😭😭😂😂

[@JakeRohde52]

I don't think he did. When you deep fry a turkey, they come out darker than any bird you've done any other way. Also you can see he is using old oil.

[@sonnytx6975]

Good job I bet it tasted great but I’d skip the dry rub, it just burns and turns your turkey black lol

[@Thehardyagent]

Turkey burned because he used too many “herbal” seasoning that Turkey was doomed from the time he put all that in the brine. It’ll burn the grease every time.

[@cassiecroy5330]

Hahaha this has to he the first time you fried a turkey hahahaha

[@8cardrive]

So sweet, great job and video to you and your wife, Peace and Blessings🎈🎈🎈🎉🎊

[@slowjamcdub]

That was the blackest turkey I’ve ever seen deep fried LOL what did you do use used oil 🤣🤣🤣💪🏻

[@JustMy2Pennies]

His oil did look old

[@JustMy2Pennies]

No way, it was fresh peanut oil

[@slowjamcdub]

@@JustMy2Pennies lol yeah he should’ve known better than that😂

[@scotthuffman4909]

Thanks for the video. The only things I would do differently is cook at a lower temperature, around 325 350 and never use a lid during cooking. Happy Thanksgiving 😊

[@kingpickle3712]

It was the seasoning that made it that color.

[@jashby9736]

Looks like the turkey from the movie Home Alone.

[@publicenemy201]

😂😂😂😂😂 that Turkey burned my guy 💀💀💀

[@Kevinr14]

Tutorial was decent...but don't cover the turkey while it cooks. The steam needs to be able to release. Otherwise it builds up water on the lid which drips back into the oil. As you know, water and oil doesn't mix...

[@joeivroc8279]

Good video thanks for posting it.ill try it next week. Keep up the good work . Happy holidays to you and the family.

[@dham5829]

I can’t believe they posted this nonsense this is a horrible tutorial never cover the deep fryer while cooking temperature spikes to high that’s why his turkey is burnt up

[@bmak76]

I blame that six pack of beer he drank while frying.

[@stanleycesar]

Hey @LoCo send me a 60 quart fryer and I'll show you how we do creole fried turkey for Christmas!

Pretty sure it’s just to help pass time and keep it from being boring. Maybe you can try one this year and see how it is to make a video 😃.

[@semisikinikini6977]

Wrong fire extinguisher

[@JakeRohde52]

Why you say that? It's just on the small side otherwise it's perfectly suited for a grease fire.

[@fordrac1ng81]

@@JakeRohde52 grease/oil requires purple K fire extinguisher

[@JakeRohde52]

@fzr600rr so do you keep a purple one in the kitchen? Cause most kitchen fires are grease fires. A regular ABC extinguisher is suited for flammable liquids.

[@billmorganvfl7160]

Looks like it was fried a little too long… like about 3 days too long. The bones were dust.

[@angelc87]

Couldn’t even see the turkey I thought it was just the black board 😭😭😭

He burnt it

He’s saying something I just know it

[@treygordon2850]

Look like he cooked that one at 450°, not 350!!! Blacked turkey for Black Friday. He may have started with a 14lb bird, wasn't but 4lbs on that plate after he said he just finished slicing.....🤨🤨🤨

Jesus. How red is that guys face. Hopefully he's sunburnt becuase thats some high blood pressure. Maybe lay off the fried turkey

I don’t know what a burnt turkey looks like but I am pretty it looks like what you pulled out….. your pull out game is horrible!

[@rickyoung3994]

Thanks for sharing the video but safety should come first. No mentions of safety in this tutorial really. Also, always wear safety goggles.

[@stcrfan]

That Turkey got over cooked it looked like.

[@HEETSEEKAH]

This will be my 3rd year using this recipe. It does appear burnt, but it's because of the brown sugar during the brine process. It was perfect inside, and the outer color was dark but not burnt.
