[dantheman]

Are you asking about seasonings ? Cajun Injector marinades work great . Choose the flavor you like or make up your own .

So what does everyone do to their fried turkeys?

I prefer to eat away all the skin after cooling it for about 1.5 minutes

I have always used cajun injector stuff. I may try to smoke it for an hour or two then fry it. Thought maybe someone had a secret seasoning they would like to share with the rest of us??

Tony's butter flavored cajun injector is my favorite. 350 degrees, 3 minutes per pound of turkey, and make sure that sucker isn't frozen at all when you stick it in the grease.

I inject mine with ~2 bottles of Tony's Cajun Butter marinade. Then it gets a rub inside and out of Tony's season salt. (the good 'ol green can, not that new lowsodium crap )
I've always done 350/4min per #. Comes out good and crispy, 'cuz I like to munch on the skin, or "goodie" as my wife calls it , too.
I've also had a turkey done just like this with the addition of the bird being stuffed with jalapeno peppers. (peppers shoved into small cuts, just like stuffing garlic into a roast) It was frakin' AWESOME!

If you like how the turkeys come out you should try doing chickens and or cornish hens. Most people that have tasted Turkey side by side with the chickens or game hens usually like them more than the Turkey. Thing to remember is that for some reason you need to cook the them 7.5min per pount insted of the 4.

I use Amato (local winery in Independence, LA) Sweet Strawberry or Blackberry wine as a base, with lots of cayne pepper, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire for chicken, and a little Caribbean Jerk Chicken seasoning, no butter.

The real question is what do you do with your oil when you are through with it?

I don't cook them.

It works real good to burn stumps . Pour it on and let it soak in . Burns for LONG time .

I prefer to brine my bird in solution overnight. I also add half a bottle of white wine to the brinning solution. When I make the solution I use cut garlic instead of powder and don't add any sugar either. This those two items makes the turkey dark. When I fry I don't EVER let the temp get over 350 deg. Also 3 min per lb is plenty. Anything over that is going to dry the bird out. I also recommend you put the bird in a server and cover it well with heavy duty foil for at least 10-15 min. The carry over time will allow the juices to reabsorb into the meat. Also the bird will continue to cook.

You don't have to listen to me I just worked in a resturant for +15yrs. If you want info on brinning let me know. I know Academy sells a brinning kit for one bird. Then you can jazz it up to your liking

 

[mcinfantry]

anyone know where i can get me a fried turkey today??

 

[asianpersuasion]

Doesn't Bealus (bad spelling) sell them. I doubt anywhere are going to have extra. Good luck with that one

I use the butter flavored cajun injector with italian salad dressing, the one without all the other crap in it so it's easy to go threw the needle. Just season the inside and outside with tony's and cayenne pepper.

Rouses in Covington sells them, but you might want to call before making the drive over here. I think all of the Rouses supermarkets sell them, so one in Covington, 2 in Mandeville, a number of them on the South shore.

+1000 on the Cajun Butter, We'll be doing 4 15 turkeys at my dads for the family of 20 tommorow, plus some cornish hens, deer strap and a few other meats. The turkey's are so tender you can carve them with a spoon.
