"Crawfish"-boiled a turkey yesterday
Posted on 11/23/15 at 1:00 pm

16.5 lb turkey
4 large onions
8 oz bottle crab boil
4 lb dry seasoning
3 lbs new potatoes (dropped in with 20 min cook time remaining)
Boiled for 65 min, soaked for 20
I'll never cook turkey any other way again. It turned out phenomenal. Juicy and seasoned throughout. Was afraid that the seasoning might be overpowering, it wasn't. We had 2 other turkeys and a ton of other food, but this turkey was devoured quickly.
Highly recommended!

only reason I eat turkey is for the crispy skin and fat

Definitely think i would like the flavor profile from the OP. So i wonder if you could cut the boil time down to 30 minutes then stick it in a 450 degree oven for another 30-40 minutes to crisp up.

Two questions...did you take off the skin? Or disjoint/cut up the turkey?

I'm thinking not. The skin was too soggy to crisp up in that little time. I just pulled it off before carving.

Can you go into your prep work on the turkey?

How do you know how long to cook?

That was the best part, no prep. Took it from bag to water. Brought the water to a boil, dumped the seasoning, crab boil and onions, then dropped the turkey in.

I read the article on Nola.com. The guy in the article said 45 minutes for a 13 lb'er, hour to hour 15 for a 16 lb'er. 65 minutes at a rolling boil was perfect.

Wouldn't it be the same as frying if your oil temp and water temp are the same?

If you can get your water temp above 212 please show me how to do it.

You could always check internal temps every 20 min or so with a therma pin until you get it to the right temp, which I assume would be 10 or so degrees below what you really want it to be, since it will keep cooking. I'm not sure on the temp it should be at, but that can be found easily.

4 pounds of dry seasoning seems like a lot. What did it consist of?

Death Valley at 279 ft below sea level water will boil at higher than 212.
You could also cook it in a pressure cooker to increase the boiling point of water.
