FRIED TURKEY RUB WITH CAJUN INJECTION
This recipe came from a Southern gal who obviously knows her food. She wrote on the recipe "the basis for a good fried turkey is the rub." I must say I agree with her on this one, this is the only way we cook our turkey now. The rub and injection are a great combination--I guarantee a moist, flavorful bird. Cooking times are estimated based on the size of your bird.

CAJUN DEEP-FRIED TURKEY
Delicious, juicy and tender, this recipe was given to me by a true Cajun sixteen years ago and has been on our Thanksgiving table ever since. The injector and instructions for frying came with our fryer which was a good thing because this original recipe didn't explain all the nuances of frying a turkey. It is well worth the learning process, though. We strain the peanut oil after it cools and pour it back into the containers (I bought it in gallon jugs). It will keep nicely in a cool place, under 40 degrees, or in the refrigerator until needed again.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion juice, garlic juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, cayenne pepper and beer. Mix until well blended.
- Use a marinade injecting syringe or turkey baster with an injector tip to inject the marinade all over the turkey including the legs, back, wings, thighs and breasts. Place in a large plastic bag and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Do not use a kitchen trash bag. If your turkey is large, you can use an oven bag.
- When it's time to fry, measure the amount of oil needed by lowering the turkey into the fryer and filling with enough oil to cover it. Remove the turkey and set aside.
- Heat the oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). When the oil has come to temperature, lower the turkey into the hot oil slowly using the hanging device that comes with turkey deep-fryers. The turkey should be completely submerged in the oil. Cook for 36 minutes, or 3 minutes per pound of turkey. The turkey is done when the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Turn off the flame and slowly remove from the oil, making sure all of the oil drains out of the cavity. Allow to rest on a serving platter for about 20 minutes before carving.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality Cajun injection: This will help to flavor the turkey from the inside out. Avoid using commercial brands that contain artificial ingredients or MSG.
- Brine the turkey before frying: This will help to keep the turkey moist and juicy. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar, or you can add additional seasonings, such as herbs, spices, or citrus fruits.
- Use a large pot or fryer for frying the turkey: Make sure that the pot is large enough to accommodate the turkey without crowding. If the turkey is too crowded, it will not cook evenly.
- Heat the oil to the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for frying a turkey is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oil is too hot, the turkey will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oil is too cool, the turkey will not cook through.
- Fry the turkey for the correct amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the turkey. A general rule of thumb is to fry the turkey for 3 minutes per pound, plus an additional 15 minutes.
- Let the turkey rest before carving: After frying, let the turkey rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the turkey, making it more flavorful and tender.
Conclusion:
Fried turkey is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips in this article, you can ensure that your fried turkey is cooked to perfection. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy meal, give fried turkey a try!
