Thank you so much Chef. I have watch this video a couple of times and will be frying my fist Turkey tomorrow for Christmas. Merry Christmas Chef and thank you so much for your instruction.
Glad to see there's no thumbs down so far; everyone I've seen or read recipes about doing this, the internal recipe was 180 degrees, but there's were a bit darker. Glad I checked u out.
First thing I noticed was his finger nails. I told myself, "dude plays guitar." Then he talks about it at the end of the video. Awesome. I live in Charlotte, NC. I'd love to make a visit there.
Trained by mom beats culinary school every time. What I wouldn't give to try some of his fried chicken right now. Already starving from watching the turkey...
Great video...thanx an' a hat tip! The temperature range (from all the vids I've viewed) seems flexible as long as it is between 300 and 350 degrees F. Is that pretty much true?
Chef my goal is to fry a turkey for Thanksgiving it’s a 15 pound turkey and I’ve been looking at videos that says three minutes per pound in your video you said 2 1/2 minutes per pound, Will either one work?
Five Spice Powder is a blend of cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise, and Szechwan peppercorns. Some recipes also contain ginger, nutmeg, and licorice.
I've deep fried many turkeys ... and 300° F is WAY to cold as the oil temperature drops dramatically when you start and the bird absorbed to much oil that way ... Peanut oil has a smoke point of 440° F ... you can get the oil to 425° F easily, before you start lowering the turkey in. I use a 60/40, Soy and Canola oil mix as it's vastly cheaper than peanut oil and available locally. Mixed, its smoke point is like 430° to 440°F and I still bring it up to 425° F before I start cooking.
Yeah I agree, 300 degrees is too low for me. I usually take my oil temperature up to the 375-400 degree range before I drop my turkey in there. I'm strictly peanut oil though. No mixtures over here. 🙃
@@bubbalufagus I might try peanut oil on the next bird! .. my daughter is allergic to peanuts, but she has moved out on her own now so my youngest two sons and I, have more food freedom .. LOL
you can reuse the oil. strain it, let it cool and put into a airtight container. It also makes the best fried chicken cause the burn temp is much higher the your standard oils
Would love to know the soy to 5 spice ratio.. I've deep fried many birds (without incident ;) )but never thought of that as an injection. Please and thanks!!

Turkey deep frying facts I know yesterdays turkey cooking is over and I am sure all of you had the best turkey you have ever eaten. Be it baked, baked in a cooking bag, smoked or deep fried. We had a nice gang over so I did two turkeys. One was baked in a cooking bag and the other deep fried. Those of you that are first timers, couple of timers or just rookies at deep frying a turkey, here are some tried and true facts by me. My first fried turkey was by a friend that worked for me at the DOT. Circa 1992. We did it at work for the crew. After my intersest in the way of cooking a turkey, I began to experiment with the idea. Later the same person and I cooked ten turkey’s at work for the whole complex’s Christmas dinner. About 140 persons. So here of some cooking facts for deep frying a turkey. This method is for a 12 to 13 pound turkey. I hope none of you bought into the peanut oil 3 minutes per pound at 350 degrees. That is a rule of thumb that was used in the restaurants. That is a good way to have the skin burned. Using peanut oil is for restaurants that need to keep their oil at a constant 350 for a week. That is about as often as they change the oil. Peanut oil has a higher flash point without burning and it is expensive. I use canola oil. It is much cheaper and produces a lighter taste and golden color instead of some dark burned looking turkey. Before you fire up the oil, put your favorite injection into a room temp turkey. After injection, with paper towel, dry the turkey well inside and outside. This wil keep water in the turkey from hitting the hot oil and blowing up on you. You all know that. With the canola oil at the max of 350 degrees, lower the turkey into the fryer. The temp should lower to about 300 dregrees. If it stays above 300, bring it down to 300. Do not put lid on pot. Doing so causes condensation and oil popping from water hitting hot oil. Hold the temp at 300 for about 45 minutes Now here is the trick for the best turkey. When I put my turkey in the oil, the legs are up. Using your lifting device, raise the turkey out of the oil exposing the legs and thighs. Using a quick read Thermo pen, check the temp of the larges piece of meat with is the leg or thigh. If the temp is above 170 degrees, Pull the turkey. It is done. I garantee you at this cooking temp and using the thermo pen, you will have the best looking and best eating turkey every time…… Now when Chistmas come this year, you will have a great looking and tasting turkey. Another great recipe by Chef Jerry
shanet60 the internal temperatures of thw turkey continues to cook turkey long after rrmoving it from the oil. If you cook it to around 165° the internal temperature keeps cooking bird, in which you end up with a dry over cooked turkey
That sound that he makes when he's carving the meat had me laughing so hard lolololol
5:10-5:25 had me 😂😂😂 the sounds that man made you know that turkey is 🔥🔥
5:42 - That facial expression after the narrator mentions his scholastic accomplishment. Just perfect.

What do you think about brining the turkey before frying it?
The injector model looks great, what is the brand?

Which oil to use to fry the turkey?
Chef is right, i used smellavision and that Turkey smells goooood !!! YUMMY !!
hahaha "my chicken"
You can deep fry small to medium size turkey pieces in your home without a fire breaking out, right!?.
Thanks for the demo, very informative :-)
Definitely deep fry it in your house! My fingers are crossed for you! 😖
Only if you want to risk burning your house down.
You haven't accounted for the space taken up by the cavity, but it worked great for you. Gotta try that 5 spice. Thanks.

@@bubbalufagus I might try peanut oil on the next bird!
.. my daughter is allergic to peanuts, but she has moved out on her own now so my youngest two sons and I, have more food freedom .. LOL
Gotcha! Yeah, definitely give peanut oil a try.
Can you reuse the oil and how to store it? Thank you.
you can reuse the oil. strain it, let it cool and put into a airtight container. It also makes the best fried chicken cause the burn temp is much higher the your standard oils
Would love to know the soy to 5 spice ratio.. I've deep fried many birds (without incident ;) )but never thought of that as an injection. Please and thanks!!
Try 6oz 5 spice, 10 oz soy sauce
Thank you, might cut that 5 spice back tho or add some water, seems like it will be a bit thick to inject..
what is the 5 spice?
Five Spice Powder is a blend of cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise, and Szechwan peppercorns. Some recipes also contain ginger, nutmeg, and licorice.
I know what 5 spice is, wanted to know how much 5 spice/how much soya..
The clip I saw on the news said the opening to the cavity of the turkey was supposed to point downward for easier draining.
Believe it or not, I smelt it thru my phone.

Another great recipe by
Chef Jerry
why 170? safe cooking temp for poultry is 160, and there will be 5-10deg of carryover after the bird is pulled.
Needs to be at least 195 to 210 internal to be safe to consume
Earl Gallup -- I thought poultry was 165
SlickBack
how much soy and Chinese spice?
6oz 5 spice, 10oz soy
150 to 155 degrees seems undercooked to me for poultry
shanet60 the internal temperatures of thw turkey continues to cook turkey long after rrmoving it from the oil. If you cook it to around 165° the internal temperature keeps cooking bird, in which you end up with a dry over cooked turkey
deandre williams I always cook mine to 165 and it's never dry
shanet60 I cook mine around 160 and then I tent it for about 15- 20min
That's (150-155) not what he said. Go to 1:40 of the video and look CLOSELY.
No where near trees neither
looks like mike brown lol
Lol he knows poultry should be cooked to 165 right?
yes smartie pants. thats why u let the bird rest for 30+ minutes to allow it to cook through from its own heat
