Question re: Best Fried Turkey Recipe
Posted on 12/20/14 at 8:42 pm

fried our first turkey for Thanksgiving and just injected it with Cajun butter, coated in seasoning and fried, pretty basic... Well it turned out great
Anything in particular any of you would recommend (I've read about mustard basting the outside)
Also sorry if there's a recipe in the recipe book... I looked but did not see
TIA

I like Emeril's injection recipe. It has apple cider, honey, beer, cloves & crab boil. Can't go wrong with that combination.

I recommend not putting anything on the outside prior to frying ... there's nothing that you can rub on the outside that can withstand frying for 30-50 minutes without burning. Just fry it naked on the outside, and sprinkle it with your favorite cajun/creole seasoning right after you take it out.
As for injection, Cajun Injector brand ... Creole Butter flavor. Nobody else comes close.
Tuck your wings for a better presentation and no tan lines on your breasts.
Also, if you don't want the legs of it to be all cocked open like a trailer park whore, just leave that little duhicky in there that it was packaged with that holds the legs in place ... even if its plastic, it won't melt, i promise. I've fried over a thousand of them ... never had one melt.
I also cut the butt off of the turkey, but that's because nobody in my fam eats it fried and it really does a number on your grease (not good if you're frying a bunch of them) ... i cut it off and use it for stock along with the neck and giblets.
I'll let you know if i think of anything else.
