4 to 5 gallons vegetable oil

Garnishes: fresh sage, parsley, thyme sprigs, kumquats with leaves

Carefully lower turkey into hot oil with rod attachment.

Chuck’s New York Fried Turkey

Submitted by: Chuck Wilson, New Rochelle, NY.

Ingredients:

8 ounces unsalted butter

2 1/2 ounces red pepper sauce

1/2 cup water

2 garlic cloves

2 bay leaves

2 to 13 pound turkey

Approximately 6 gallons peanut oil* 

Directions:  Combine butter, red pepper sauce, water, garlic, and bay leaves in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Boil the sauce for 10 minutes to reduce. As it cooks, the color will deepen. Allow the sauce to cool before injecting it into the turkey. It is best to inject the turkey with the sauce at least 12 hours before frying.  Fill the pot with oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Have a deep fry thermometer attached to the pot. Put the turkey on the fry stand and attach to the metal hanger that comes with the fry kit. Slowly ease the turkey into the hot oil, long oven mitts and an apron are essential.  Turkey cooks 4 minutes per pound so check it at 45 minutes. The internal temperature of the bird should read on a thermometer between 170 and 180 degrees F. Remove the turkey from the oil as carefully as it went in. Set the turkey stand on a roasting pan to drain the excess oil. Let the turkey rest for 15 minutes so the juices settle before removing and carving

Barry’s Fried Turkey

Submitted by: Barry Schipps, Albany, NY. 

Ingredients:

1 bottle Italian salad Dressing or prepared from mix

2 Tbsp. Salt

2 Tbsp Creole seasoning (Tony's is good brand)

2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp. Tabasco sauce

1 Tbsp. celery salt

2 Tbsp. cayenne pepper

1 tsp. garlic salt

1 tsp. onion salt

1 tsp. lemon pepper

2 tsp. Greek seasoning

1 packet powdered chicken bouillon 

1 tsp. meat tenderizer

2 tsp. Accent 

Directions:  Mix all seasonings (except Italian dressing) in quart jar with 2 cups warm       water. Shake well. Add Italian dressing and shake.  Let sit for at least 1 hour.  Strain through a coffee filter or clean nylon stockings. Using a 3 to 5 cc syringe, inject the liquid into turkey. Rub the strained seasonings over the surface of the turkey. Let turkey marinate in refrigerator for at least overnight.  Deep fry in peanut oil. Heat oil to 350°. Lower turkey into hot oil carefully (follow directions and precautions on your turkey fryer instructions brochure). Fry turkey for about 3 min. per pound. Turkey should float - cook for about 15 more minutes after it begins to float.  Be careful when removing turkey from hot oil as the cavity fills with oil and is often tricky to handle. We found that using a basket was the best method and tilting it to drain so that the "tail" of the turkey was down.
