DEEP FRIED TURKEY RECIPE
LOWER BIRD INTO OIL VERY SLOWLY
•One turkey Up To 20 Pound Max (whole bird) in 30 Qt Pot.
•Inject turkey and season outside of the turkey with Masterbuilt’s Cajun Spices.
•The amount of oil needed is determined by the size of the turkey.
STEP 1 - Place turkey, wild or domestic, into MASTERBUILT’s drain and
steamer basket and place into pot. Fill pot with water until butt of bird is covered.
Remove bird from pot allowing all water to drain and mark waterline; empty water
from pot; this will tell you how much oil is needed.Three inches of space is needed
from top of pot to the top of bird. Do not use a bird larger than 20 pounds; remove
plastic pop-up thermometer from bird. Bird must be completely thawed and free of
excess water.
STEP 2 - Cover outside and inside cavity of bird with cajun spices and inject
with seasonings if desired. Bring oil temperature to 350°F, keeping a close watch
on the temperature. (It is important to maintain as close to 350°F as possible while
cooking.) Place turkey in basket with legs of bird up. Lower into 350°F grease or
oil very slowly. (Wear a cooking glove.) Cook bird 3 minutes per pound and then
add 5 minutes to total cooking time.
STEP 3 - Turn Cooker OFF and remove bird slowly, allowing oil to escape the
bird inside and out.
Example: Cooking a 11.5 pound turkey
3 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes, for a total cooking time of 39.5 minutes.
(20 Pounds x 3 Minutes = 60 + 5 Minutes = 65 Total Minutes)
Note: If the turkey floats before cooking time is complete, this does not mean
the turkey is done. Continue to follow time in Step 2. For pheasant, cornish hen,
chicken, and quail, follow Step 1. You may deep fry more than one of these birds
at a time, Do Not allow oil to overflow. Use water method in step 1. For proper
cooking time, do not total the weight of more than one bird. For example: For
three cornish hens at 2 lbs. each, cook 6 minutes plus 5 minutes with a total
cooking time of 11 minutes. Do not total the number of pounds for all three birds;
this will over cook the birds.
Cool, Carve, and Eat!
Reminder: Please Read
Never leave cooker unattended while Oil/Grease is heating up and while the
food is cooking and until Oil/Grease has cooled completely. Oil will heat up fast.
Watch the thermometer until it reaches 350º and while the food is cooking
to make sure Oil/Grease maintains 350º. Oil/Grease will catch FIRE and cause
serious damage to yourself and/or property, even death. Use cooker outdoors in
an open area away from anything flammable such as overhang of house or wood
patio.
