instructions
step 1
Brine your turkey if it's not pre-brined.
step 2
When ready to cook, let the turkey sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
step 3
Add oil to the turkey fryer and set it to high heat. Bring the oil temperature to 350°F.
step 4
Cook the turkey for 3 1/2 minutes per pound. Start timing once the turkey is submerged in the oil.
step 5
After reaching 350°F, slowly lower the turkey into the oil, watching for any oil reactions. Maintain the temperature at 350°F.
step 6
Once the turkey is in, reduce heat to maintain 350°F.
step 7
After the calculated cooking time, check the turkey's temperature with a probe thermometer. Remove from oil when the breast reaches at least 151°F; do not exceed 165°F.
step 8
Rest the turkey for at least 30 minutes before carving. The internal temperature will rise to 165°F or more during resting. Cover with foil or place in a brown paper bag.
