\nDeep-Fried Turkey<\/span><\/p>\n

Prep: 30 minutes plus standing
\nDeep-Fry: 40 minutes \u2022 Serves: 12<\/span> <\/p>\n

4 <\/span>gallons PICS peanut oil<\/strong>
\n1 <\/span>(12- to 14-pound) fresh or frozen turkey, thawed completely
\n2 <\/span>teaspoons dried basil
\n2 <\/span>teaspoons dried oregano
\n2 <\/span>teaspoons PICS salt<\/strong>
\n1\t<\/span>teaspoon PICS black pepper<\/strong>
\n1 <\/span>teaspoon PICS garlic powder<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1.<\/span>Read manufacturer\u2019s manual carefully. Prepare turkey fryer as manufacturer directs, making sure you use a deep-fat thermometer to monitor the temperature. Add oil to pot and cover; heat oil to 375\u00b0 over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, remove giblets, neck and liver from thawed turkey; reserve giblets and neck for another use if desired and discard liver. Remove and discard ring holding turkey legs together and pop-up timer. Rinse turkey with cold running water; pat inside and outside completely dry with paper towels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2.<\/span>In small bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Sprinkle basil mixture inside turkey cavity and outside of turkey, patting lightly so it adheres. Slide turkey hook into the turkey, breast cavity first, with the hook coming out the opposite end of the turkey (or place the turkey in the turkey basket with legs pointing up). Turn off burner as manufacturer directs to eliminate flame. Securely attach the lifting hook to the turkey hook (or basket). Put on oven mitts, and very carefully lower turkey into hot oil. Remove lifting hook; turn on flame.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3.<\/span>Fry turkey, uncovered, 40 to 50 minutes (about 3-1\/2 minutes per pound) or until internal temperature reaches 160\u00b0 in thickest part of thigh, making sure thermometer doesn\u2019t touch bone, and adjusting fryer temperature as necessary to maintain oil temperature between 325 and 350\u00b0.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4.<\/span>To remove turkey from oil, turn off flame. Carefully reattach lifting hook. Lift turkey from oil, holding turkey over pot of oil briefly to allow any excess oil to drip into fryer. Place turkey on its hook onto large rimmed baking pan to check internal temperature; let stand 10 minutes. Transfer turkey to cutting board; cover loosely with foil and let stand 10 minutes longer. (Internal temperature will rise 5 to 10\u00b0 upon standing.) Remove turkey hook before carving.

Chef Tips<\/span>
\nMake sure to use a turkey that hasn\u2019t been injected with a marinade, and that it is completely thawed before frying. Additional moisture in the turkey could cause the oil to boil over, resulting in a fire or explosion. Set up the turkey fryer on a hard, flat surface (such as on a large piece of cardboard to catch any spills) away from your home; never leave the fryer unattended as most fryers have an automatic shut-off valve that requires the fryer to be relit every 15 minutes. If oil temperature drops below 325\u00b0 while frying, adjust the heat or place the lid on the pot briefly to bring the oil back to temperature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
