Cooking 18LB Fresh turkey in oil less fryer?

Oil less fryers are trash.

If it fits in the basket you will be fine. It will take just north of 3 hours to cook but use a thermometer to check the meat.

My company gave us turkeys for Thanksgiving and they were 18.5 lbs. It was too big for my fryer so I used the oil less fryer I thought it came out fine. I did it for 10 min a pound but didn't worry about measuring internal temp and was still very juicy on the inside. It was starting to get a little too overdone in wings and legs so I would probably go for closer to 9.5 minutes a pound or a little less.

Thanks guys. I was planning on using the injection as well!

Dont guess on the time, just use a thermometer as there are too many variables. I did a 17lb one Thanksgiving in just under two hours,breast end up uncovered. Make sure you oil the ribs on the basket really well too.
