Boy, I bet you sure feel like a real dunce now. Ha!... Ha... Jesus, what am I doing with my life...

I made my career out of working with HF, and worse, on the lab scale. I will never fry a turkey. I know people do it all the time with zero issue (I could too) but nope not gonna.

All you need to do is work out how much oil you need, and put exactly that much oil in and no more. Yes, I know it doesn't look like enough. It is enough. Don't add more than that.

This is why I used a metal a-frame ladder and a pulley system to lower my turkey into the oil a couple years ago. It was hilariously overengineered but I still had eyebrows at the end of the night.

Apparently, the safe way to do it is to heat the oil to the proper temp, turn off the heating element, insert the turkey, and then turn the heat back on.

Also make sure the wings and legs are trussed up so they don't catch on the pot, trim the neck skin so it doesn't catch oil and spurt it out on the way in, and make sure the bird is thoroughly thawed. Why people don't turn off the ignition source is beyond me, it is the single thing that turns a spill into an inferno.

Best recommendation is to put the thawed turkey in, fill up the pot with water until the turkey is almost completely submerged, then remove the turkey. Use a marker or something to mark the water level. Empty and dry out the pot, then fill the oil to that level. I've seen so many idiots fill upo the pot and start heating without thinking of how much oil they actually need. And yes for the love of god turn your flame off when you dip. You can turn it back on after and the drop in temp is so minimal compred to the potential danger. Another tip I was given is to dip and remove the turkey three or four times before leaving it in. Supposed to help crisp up the skin. Might be bullshit but mine turn out really good. Edit: VV Putting things in cold oil to then heat up tends to ruin the food. You need it to be at temp the second you drop the food in so it wil be crispy and not a soggy greasy mess. ChesterJT fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Nov 23, 2022 |

So as a non-American, is a fried turkey that much better than a turkey prepared in other ways? It seems like way too much effort, even disregarding the risk lol, for a minor gain. Risking severe bodily harm and/or burning your house down for a slightly tastier turkey lmao... ...It's a masculinity thing, isn't it?

No, frying a turkey actually is probably the only way to truly evenly heat the bird from all surfaces, inside and out. It cooks it much faster (under an hour), and being submerged in boiling oil really helps it steam itself from its own moisture. Done correctly, without ever letting the oil temperature get low, it doesn't even get greasy. The skin does, but it's not as if the meat gets saturated with the grease. While it is potentially much more dangerous, the results are very consistent. If you do the math correctly (3 min per pound +15 minutes, I think), and verify final temp with a thermometer in the breasts and thighs, you're pretty much guaranteed there won't be dry meat anywhere. Also, you can use the vat of oil to fry other stuff, like corn tortillas to make a big basket of chips, breaded mac and cheese balls, etc. HenryJLittlefinger fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Nov 23, 2022 |

It's also somewhat tricky to oven roast a turkey well and not have it be very dry, which is what happens to a lot of people. A deep fried turkey is much more crispy on the outside and moist inside. But mostly it's a dumb American food crime / meme.

Risking severe bodily harm and/or burning your house down for a slightly tastier turkey lmao... It is that much more delicious. Really. Fresh fried turkey skin is amazing. The problem is that safe turkey frying takes several preparation steps that cannot be automated into the fryer itself. Thus, the annual cutscenes of idiots making the same basic mistakes. Essentially: 1. Proper amount of oil, not underfilled and especially not overfilled. 2. Turkey not frozen or wet. 3. Oil up to temperature but not way over temp. 4. Ignition source shut off when turkey is inserted.”, so that any boilover is a spill and not a fireball. 5. Turkey SLOWLY inserted, as there is a chimney effect of hot oil running up through the bird’s cavity. 6. Fryer in open area and not near flammable stuff. Don’t do it indoors or in your garage. 7. No animals/children running around it. As you can see, nobody can design a product that can safely incorporate these steps. That’s why there are no UL-listed turkey friers. It’s entirely up to the preparer’s sense of responsibility and safety. Every single turkey frying mishap violated one of those above steps.

So many houses burned down because people are to scared to spatchcock the bird. If you need manliness points you can then smoke it instead of cooking it in the oven. I've never had a fried bird that was better than a smoked bird.
