Turkey Fryer Recipe Cooking Instructions
1. Insure that the turkey is completely thawed, free of ice and water. Remove neck, giblet bag, plastic pop-up cooking indicator and leg ties. Pay special attention to inner cavity area when checking for ice or water.
2. Fill pot with oil to the fill line.
3. Set control dial to 400°F (204°C)(pre-heating time may take up to 55minutes).
4. Place lid on the fryer.
5. While oil is pre-heating, prepare the turkey. Inject with a marinade of your choice and season the outside of the turkey with a Cajun rub.
6. CALCULATE COOKING TIME: The formula for calculating turkey cooking time is fry turkey 3 minutes per pound (0.45kg), then add 5 minutes to total cooking time:13.86 lbs X 3 min 41.58 min, plus 5 minutes+ 5.00 min. Total Cooking Time = 46.58 min
NOTE: Cooking conditions vary. Insert a food thermometer 2 inches (5.08cms) into the deepest part of turkey and make sure an internal temperature of 180°F(82°C) is reached.
7. Heating indicator light will go OFF when temperature is reached. 8. Place turkey horizontally in basket, breast side up.
9. Wearing protective gloves or mitts, hook the basket handle with the lifting hook and very slowly lower the basket into the hot oil.
10. With basket in place, cover with lid.
11. Set a kitchen timer or mark time.
12. Heating light will come on, indicating the element is heating. Be certain to cook for the complete calculated time.
13. When time is up, turn the turkey fryer OFF and lift the basket from the hot oil slowly, hooking the basket to the side of the pot with the drain clip. 14. Carefully tilt the turkey up on one end to allow oil to drain out of the center cavity. The turkey can remain in the basket to cool until ready to serve.
