How to Deep Fry a Turkey

Chef Barbara Alexander from The Culinary Institute of America shows us how to deep fry a turkey. Deep frying a whole turkey results in delicious, succulent meat with perfectly crispy golden skin that is well worth the extra effort. Before you begin, keep in mind that deep frying a turkey can be very dangerous! Improper frying techniques can cause fires as well as severe burns, so proceed with extreme caution and preparation.

Turning the burner off when lowering is a top tier tip. Learned this from a fireman, been spreading the word ever since

I used to work at a furniture store and on the day after Thanksgiving, I walked into work and the whole place smelled absolutely delicious. I went to the break room and my psycho boss was frying a Turkey right there in that tiny ass break room. No smoke, no mess, nothing. It was the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen anyone do lmao

J Allen. The weather comes into play when heating oil. I go to 365-375 if in the 40’s cause it cools off fast and it takes a while to get it back up to 350 and that’s when I start timer. Perfect every time.

Someone taking the time and effort to make this video, nay just as well put in a little extra effort to give the temperature in °C for those subscribers outside the US.

I tried filling the oil line up to where my water line was but it was too much oil

[DougieRay]

Well approximately how many gallons of water is that

[adamheeley]

How does the skin not burn since you have the to fry it for so long?

[Ali_Shafai]

How much propane is needed in doing one 17lb turkey? Thanks.

Is the no stuffing in the turkey’s cavity a must in how this has to be done? Or can one also get some stuffing out of this cooking style?

Those precautions seem to be to important to pass up. Too many turkey fires.

[ashslick]

Does anyone know approximately how long it takes to cook this particular sized turkey?

[jeremyallen]

375. Is way too hot. Most recommended temp is 325. 350.

[TuMadre]

can you really say you deep fried turnkey if you didn't get 3rd degree burns on at least 90% of your body?

[corybrown]

What is the point of the water step? Couldn’t you just do the same thing with the oil and then fry from there?

[Spitts]

If your pot has a max fill line do not exceed that line. Ever.
