Deep Fried Turkey Instructions and Tips
By MJ Collins

Do you want to learn how to deep fry a turkey that will amaze your family and friends? I’ve been making our Thanksgiving bird like this for years and I promise you’ve never tasted anything like a whole turkey deep fried to perfection. If you’ve never tried to deep fry turkey there are some important things to keep in mind. That’s why I wrote this helpful article containing deep fry turkey instructions and tips to help your frying go smoothly.

First of all you need to pick up a Turkey Frying Set. You could just use a big pot and rig something up yourself but it will be a lot easier and safer to use a set specifically designed for deep frying turkey. They run around $39 to $79 and they’re worth every penny. They come with a large pot, a sturdy metal stand, a thermometer, a burner you hook up to your propane tank, and a hook you’ll use when moving the bird in and out of the oil. You should also pick up a pair of rubber gloves to protect you from splattering oil.

You’ll also need several gallons of cooking oil. Peanut oil works best but its a little expensive. If you can’t afford to splurge canola oil will work just as well.

To prepare your bird you need to wash him thoroughly inside and out. Make sure there are no pop up devices or anything else inside.

Next you need to measure how much oil you’ll need for frying. Place your turkey in the pot and add water until the bird is completely covered. Remove the bird and then measure the amount of water left in the pot. Now you know exactly how much oil you’ll need!

Use paper towels to dry your turkey both inside and out, then season it using whatever dry rub recipe you like. I don’t recommend using marinade for deep frying turkeys because you want the bird to be dry when you lower it into the oil.

Make sure the inside of the pot is completely dry too and then add the oil. Heat it up to a temperature of at least 350 degrees. For safety purposes you should have everything set up outside. Never deep fry inside your house or garage. It’s extremely dangerous.

Once your oil is hot enough its time to carefully lower the bird in. Use extra caution and go slowly so you don’t splatter oil or tip over the pot. You may want to have a friend standing by nearby just in case you need help.

Now one of the most common questions people ask is “How long to deep fry a turkey?” I never get tired of seeing the looks on their faces when I tell them just 3 1/2 minutes per pound. Isn’t it amazing that the same turkey that takes hours to cook in the oven will be ready to eat in just 35-45 minutes when fried?

When the time is up turn off the burner and carefully remove the bird from the oil. Let it drain out and rest for about ten minutes and it will be ready for carving. Despite what you may think, it won’t be all greasy and oily. If you followed my deep fry turkey instructions your bird will be juicy and delicious. You may never cook a turkey in the oven again!

You can laugh at me for being fruity…but if watching sexy women shake their asses in skimpy outfits is fruity, then call me fruity. Haha.

This year I get to see my favortite dancers Julianne Hough and Edyta Sliwinska return along with the rest of the regulars. Plus there’s some nice female celeb ass to look at with Brooke Burke and Kim Kardashian strutting their stuff.

The dancing starts tonight but here’s a little video of Julianne’s tight ass from a dance with Helio Castroneves two seasons ago…

Joseph Richardson was taking his 4-year old daughter Kaniyah for a walk near their Chicago home when a car (whose driver was under the influence of a controlled substance) jumped the curb and veered directly into their path.  Most people’s first instinct would be to jump out of the way…but Richardson instead grabbed his daughter and shielded her from the oncoming car. 

Tragically he was killed on site, but though his little girl sustained injuries she did survive.  This man is a hero and I have nothing but respect for him.  At the same time my heart goes out to the little girl who not only has to grow up without her daddy…but she had to see him die right in front of her. 

As a parent these kinds of stories go right through me.

It’s called a Tiddy Bear. The commercial is great because you know this was invented by a couple of pervs who wanted to keep saying Titty on tv. Is it a coincidence that most of the women demonstrating the Tiddy Bear have a nice size chest? Or is just that large-breasted women are more prone to seat belt trauma?

PS - special thanks to Caroline Middlebrook for pointing out the plugin to embed YouTube clips into a blog. I had a hell of a time getting it to look right before I found her blog.

I’m not sure what this blog is gonna be about yet. Haven’t even picked a theme yet. I’m just gonna roll with it and see where it goes.

You can expect a lot of random observations and crap like that. I expect some of the categories to be about movies, working life, tv, and anything else that catches my eye.

That’s all for now…no one reads this first post anyway, right?
