When I first moved to Texas and people in my building knew I fried Turkeys I used to get asked to fry them for everyone. My record was 17 on one thanksgiving day. By number 14 the oil was pretty much done. The last couple (mine, unfortunately) were pretty bad. The injection didn't seem to bother the oil but any spice on the outside did. Anyone that showed up at my house with spice all over one had to get my hose and spray all the crap off before they put it in. Oh and at least once a year some idiot would show up with a Frozen turkey!

I’ve seen the tonys injection butter ruin oil faster than zatarains. No idea why.

I’m legitimately impressed by this. Can’t believe you used the same oil for all of them.

1 at a time? At an average of 45 minutes that's nearly 13 hours of frying.

I find this fouls the oil faster than anything else, outside of letting it get too hot. Used to fry 5-7 for the neighbors when we live in Texas without a fall off in quality.
