    Pro tip- To measure how much oil you need and avoid a over-flow of oil when adding your turkey, a day or two before frying, I put my thawed turkey still wrapped in packaging in the pot, fill with water until the turkey is submerged, **then remove the the turkey from the water and mark a line with a sharpie. This tells how much oil to fill. Also, if your doing 2 birds, for example if you have a 15 lbs bird and one that's 13 lbs, your 15 lbs bird will need less oil because it weights more and the oil will rise higher then then a 13 lbs bird...I try to fry the same weight when cooking multiple birds.

    • @kevinrutledge9602
      @kevinrutledge9602 Před 2 lety +16

      I think its implied, but I think you missed a step of fill with water to submerge the turkey, then remove the turkey and mark the line.

      @40ozbeerbellydude Před 2 lety

      @@guttagullotine2236 because the water would act as if it's oil. When you put a big 15 lb bird in liquid (water, oil whatever) it will rise a lot. The water is simply to measure how much oil you should put in your fryer. That's just something I've done over the years to measure my oil. When my turkey thaws, and is still in packaging, I put it in water in my pot and mark a line where the turkey is submerge so the day of I know how much oil to add.

      @azavala1430 Před 2 lety +17

      Good tip. Thou you would put the turkey in the pot, put water until it's submerged, take turkey back out then mark the water level. If you use the mark while the turkey is still in, then you will have too much oil and risk having major spillage.

I've never injected a turkey either in all of these years, but I've been wanting to try it. This may be the year to give it a go.

    This is great and I appreciate the video and that this is all free advice. I will say that an inexperienced cook should absolutely temp the breast and pull it in the low 150s. Carryover will take it to 160-165, which is safe to eat. Overcooking even a few minutes can dry out the breast. I did one once where I pulled it out at 160 in the breast and it was solid but overcooked by my standard.
