    I actually did this last Thanksgiving (2020). I hadn't heard of anyone doing it, so I thought I would do the experiment. Brined over night. Smoked for about 2 hours and fried. Normally I fry every Thanksgiving. Pondered this and gave it a shot. Great flavor and juicy. One of my daughter-in-laws said it was the best turkey she ate. Prepping to again this year.

    I fry a turkey every year now. Love it. I do use Canola oil which has a 400 degree smoke point I just baby sit it the whole time I am cooking it. I do notice once the turkey is placed in the oil the temp drops a lot.

    Great video. I like to smoke mine for about two hours at 200°. Then deep fry until the internal hits 150°
    Holding 150° for 4 minutes will kill any salmonella, and the bird comes out super juicy

    Hey Matt! Great video as always. Was in the store last week where I met your wife and new puppy-nice pup, nice wife! Already purchased your turkey brine so I’m good there.
    My questions are:
    -Would I obtain similar crispy skin if I were to ramp up the smoker to 350-375 at the end of normal smoke and after letting the turkey dry in the fridge for one day after brine and before smoke (to dry the skin a bit more)?
    -or is the super crispy skin only available via Smo-frying the turkey?
    Love your store and your little town, Waxahachie!

  • @lx2nv

    Dang that looks good. I've had luck with crisping skin on smoker. I air dry over night on a cooling rack. I smoke at 225 until the IT his 125. Then crank it up to 400 until the IT hits 165. Again, not fried and not fried skin - but a lot crispier than smoking at 250 only. Thanks Matt!

    What’s your opinion on dry-brined vs wet-brined using this recipe? And what do you think about extending the smoke time another hour, and shortening the fry-time?

  • @firstjohn3123
    @firstjohn3123 Před 2 lety

    Ok, here's a turkey (&ham) carving tip. Use a 6"-7" sharp fishing filet knife. Glide that bad boy right over the rib cage. Use one with a good non-slip handle as turkey fat/oil can make things slippery. 😋

    Probably going to do a smoked/fried turkey breast soon. Wondering if you could cold smoke the turkey over an ice bin with a smoke tube for a few hours then fully fry it? Any benefits or drawbacks of doing that or is it just 6 in one and half dozen in the other?

    Take the carcass with skin on and enough water to cover it into a stockpot. Add some onions, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns into a stock pot, then simmer on low for about 2 hours and strain the liquid into another pot to be used for an amazing Gumbo.

    Great looking bird, Matt! Wondering if you have any experience w/ the CharBroil Big Easy Oilless turkey frier, and what your thoughts are? I've had one for several years now, and the results have been amazing! Wouldn't go back to cooking w/ oil based on what I've achieved with the BE. Takes a little bit longer, but the results are identical without the mess (or risk!) Think I'll try the Smo-Fry combo this year!

  • @ketolife4775
    @ketolife4775 Před 2 lety +2

    Actually, peanut oil is highly inflammatory, we use lard and it has an even higher smoke point and can be RE-used MUCH longer. Peanut oil last up to a month in the refrigerator after use, lard can be filtered and stored with no refrigerated for up to a year or longer! It's much more stable and will not go rancid as quickly. All vegetable and seed oils are highly processed and inflammatory, causing cancer and free radical damage in the body. This includes margarines also. Real animal oils, real butter and real organics that one can get oil from without processing, avocado, olive and palm oil. Take this to heart.
