One 12-pound turkey

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Let the turkey come to room temperature, then pat it dry thoroughly and season it generously with salt and pepper inside and out.
  • Fill a countertop indoor turkey fryer with the indicated amount of oil according to the manufacturer's instructions (see Cook's Note) and heat to 400 degrees F. Carefully lower the turkey into the fryer and cook for 35 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh should register approximately 165 degrees F.

This recipe was a disaster! The turkey was undercooked and the skin was soggy.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my turkey didn't come out as crispy as I would have liked.

Next time, I'll try using a different type of oil, as the vegetable oil I used gave the turkey a bit of an oily taste.

I would recommend using a smaller turkey, as the one I used was a bit too big for my fryer.
