Deep Fry Turkey Depends on the Turkey Cooking Temperature of the Oil When Learning How to Cook a Turkey
Deep fry turkey and cooking smoked turkey is part of our outdoor culture. Many of us have also learned how to cook turkey barbeque on our outdoor charcoal grill.
Turkey parts can be cooked on a barbeque grill. A whole turkey can be cooked on a covered grill. Smaller turkeys are better for outside cooking. (Up to 15 pounds) Build a very hot pile of coals. Then spread them out when they turn white. Keep racks 6 to 8 inches above embers.
When cooking a whole turkey in a covered grill, arrange a drip pan in the center. Spread the hot coals all around the drip pan. Set the turkey on the rack over the drip pan. Cover with the lid. Add a few coals to each side of drip pan every hour. Allow 15 to 18 minutes per pound for a thawed unstuffed turkey.
Cooking smoked turkey has become a tradition in many households. It produces a delicious bird if done correctly. The biggest problem seems to be a drying out of the meat. Using a smaller bird helps this because it doesn’t have to be cooked as long. Also using water in your smoker helps. Follow the instructions that come with your smoker because they vary among manufacturers.
Outside is a must when you fry turkey, you will need a very large deep fryer, lots of oil and propane. This produces a very moist and delicious bird. Follow the instructions that come with your deep fryer. Be very careful of the hot oil.
