AB'S DEEP-FRIED TURKEY 2.0

I worked a long time to come up with what I consider a fairly safe, reliable way to deep fry a turkey. The device is simple but there are parts and connections involved and if you decide to build one for yourself, it's up to you to follow the instructions and of course, maintain the device in order to keep everyone in your zip code safe. However you decide to fry your bird, keep in mind that you're dealing with a large object that's full of water and a large pot of hyper-hot accelerant. So I'm not going to tell you to be careful, I'm going to tell you to be very, very careful. And always keep animals and kids (especially kids) away from the fry site. And, if you happen to be enjoying alcohol, remember that this does qualify as "operating heavy machinery." Always adhere to the turkey fryer's instructions and recommendations. Make sure the gas tank is set as far from the burner as possible. And no matter what, don't leave it unattended. Fire. Hot oil. You get the point. And, whatever you do, make sure the bird is completely thawed and drained of any liquid that could be hiding in the cavity. (You took out the neck and giblets, right?) Before you begin: Set up Alton Brown's turkey derrick (see video) or the fry rig of your choice with a UL-listed propane fryer rig set on level ground, away from any structures. Gather ingredients and equipment and measure out ingredients.

Steps:

  • If brining, place the hot water, kosher salt and brown sugar into a 5-gallon upright drink cooler and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely. Add the ice and stir until the mixture is cool. Gently lower the turkey into the container. If necessary, weigh down the bird to ensure that it is fully immersed in the brine. Cover and set in a cool place for 8 to 10 hours.
  • Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Place bird onto fry lifter and truss legs and wings, if desired, with cotton butcher's twine. Leave at room temperature for at 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Set up Alton Brown's turkey derrick (see video) or the fry rig of your choice with a UL-listed propane fryer rig set on level ground, away from any structures. Lower the bird into a 30-quart pot and add enough oil to barely cover. (With the bird and oil in the pot, the oil should still be about 5 inches to the top edge of the pot.) Hoist the bird out of the oil and allow to drain thoroughly.
  • Next, following the manufacturer's instructions, ignite the burner, setting the flame for medium-high heat. Use a deep-fry or other appropriate thermometer to check the oil temperature and bring to 250 degrees F.
  • Slowly lower the bird into the oil and increase the heat to bring the temperature to 350 degrees F. (Depending on your burner, this should take about 15 minutes.) Once the oil hits 350, lower the heat to maintain 350 degrees F. Fry at this temperature for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, slowly hoist the bird out, carefully tying off the rope to secure. Cover the pot then carefully check the temperature of the turkey using a probe thermometer in the deepest part of the breast. If the temperature is lower than 151 degrees F, lower the turkey into the oil and monitor until 151 degrees F is reached.
  • Then hoist the bird up, tie off the line, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a sheet pan. Rest the bird in this position for 5 minutes before lowering the bird so that the weight rests on the sheet pan. This will make it easier to remove the lifter from the line. (I always tie off the line in this position just in case.) Carefully transfer the bird to a carving board.
  • Rest the bird for a minimum of 15 more minutes prior to carving. The bird should reach a final internal temperature of 161 degrees F by this time. Carve as desired.

6 quarts hot water
1 pound kosher salt
1 pound dark brown sugar
6 pounds ice
1 (13- to 14-pound) turkey, neck and giblets removed
Approximately 4 to 4 1/2 gallons peanut oil

DEEP-FRIED TURKEY

Deep-frying a turkey might seem daunting, but if you follow the instructions and safety tips carefully, it can be a lot of fun and you can free up the stove and oven for all of those tasty Thanksgiving sides. If you're buying a turkey fryer to make this, look for a kit with a pot that has a spigot at the bottom to drain out the oil - a small but important detail that will make your clean up much easier and faster.

Steps:

  • To determine how much oil you will need for frying, set your turkey (still in the plastic) in your frying pot, legs up. Measure and add enough water just to cover the turkey. (There should be at least 6 inches between the water line and the top of the pot to fry safely.) Remove the turkey and water and dry the pot very well.
  • Combine the butter, broth, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over very low heat and cook until the garlic softens, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and let cool completely. Strain; reserve the liquid and discard the solids.
  • One hour before you are ready to cook, take the turkey out of the refrigerator and remove the neck and giblets. Pat the turkey very dry, inside and out. If there is a pop-up timer, remove and discard. Use an injector syringe to inject the butter mixture into the turkey, 4 or 5 places in each breast and 2 or 3 in each leg and thigh. (Inject as deep into the flesh as you can.) Pat dry if any of the mixture leaks out. Season the turkey inside and out with 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper and rub it in well.
  • Add the oil to the frying pot and heat to 350˚ F (if using a propane fryer, heat over medium). It should take 45 minutes to 1 hour to heat the oil. Once the oil reaches 350˚ F, using protective gloves, slowly lower the turkey into the fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • The oil temperature will drop 30˚ F to 40˚ F almost immediately. Adjust the heat so the temperature stays between 300˚ F and 325˚ F the whole time you are frying. Fry 3 minutes per pound. When the turkey is done, turn off the fryer. Using the gloves and the lifting rack, carefully remove the turkey from the oil to a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh; it should register 155˚ F. Let the turkey rest 20 to 30 minutes before removing from the rack and carving (the internal temperature will increase about 10˚ F). Make sure the frying oil cools completely before discarding, at least 4 hours.

1 10- to 12-pound turkey, thawed if frozen (do not remove from the plastic packaging)
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 small head garlic, cloves crushed and peeled
3 sprigs thyme
3 fresh bay leaves
Zest (removed with a vegetable peeler) and juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 to 5 gallons vegetable oil or other neutral frying oil

Gently lower the turkey into the container. If necessary, weigh down the bird to ensure that it is fully immersed in the brine. Cover and set in a cool dry place for 8 to 16 hours.
  • Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Place the oil into a 28 to 30-quart pot and set over high heat on an outside propane burner with a sturdy structure. Bring the temperature of the oil to 250 degrees F. Once the temperature has reached 250, slowly lower the bird into the oil and bring the temperature to 350 degrees F. Once it has reached 350, lower the heat in order to maintain 350 degrees F. After 35 minutes, check the temperature of the turkey using a probe thermometer. Once the breast reaches 151 degrees F, gently remove from the oil and allow to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to carving. The bird will reach an internal temperature of 161 degrees F due to carry over cooking. Carve as desired.

6 quarts hot water
1 pound kosher salt
1 pound dark brown sugar
5 pounds ice
1 (13 to 14-pound) turkey, with giblets removed
Approximately 4 to 4 1/2 gallons peanut oil* (See Cook's Note)
