YouTube is your friend.

Safety equipment
  • Long heat resistant grilling gloves
  • An apron
  • Fire extinguisher
    • If you gonna fry do it right and make sure you have the equipment to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your property. If you don’t want to invest in this then don’t even consider frying a bird.
Safety tips
  • Fry out side
  • Make sure your frying area is level and a few feet away from any structures. 6 feet in any direction is a good rule of thumb.
  • Make sure you have a big enough pot
    • Your pit needs to be big enough for your bird, your oil, and enough clearance to prevent over flow. I’d recommend getting a 12 -16lb bird.
  • Measure how much oil you’ll need prior to frying.
    • Typically you’ll need about 4-6 gallons of frying oil. But you’ll need to be precise when frying a whole turkey.
    • To do this place a thawed bird in your pot. Fill the pot with water until the bird is just covered. Remove the bird. Make a marking in the pot to where the water line is. You can use a knife, your use tape. If you use tape remove it after you’ve added your oil before you turn the fire on. This marking will act as the fill line for your cooking oil.
  • Never fry a frozen bird. Prior to cooking make sure your bird is thawed and most of the water is out of the bird.
  • When it’s time to fry gradually lower the bird into the fryer.
  • Don’t leave the bird unattended while it is cooking. Watch out for any boil overs. Have that fire extinguisher on deck.

I think fried turkey is the most overrated shyt. Nothing like a carefully seasoned and roasted bird, juicy and out the oven :ehh: Then when you cut into it and the juice run out.

I fry turkey at my mom's house. I usually do several cuz she brags about it so her friends ask her.its not hard. Rub your favorite seasoning on a thawed turkey then dip it in oil.
