What You'll Need:
 |
- An outdoor fryer system
- A 15-17 lb. turkey - Most outdoor fryer systems can accommodate 18 lb. turkeys, but we recommend a smaller bird so the fyer doesn’t overflow.
- 3-4 gallons of peanut oil – For allergies, substitute with vegetable or canola oil.
- 3 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper (reduce to decrease spice level)
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
For the injection liquid:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Tabasco or hot sauce of your choice
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust or omit to reduce heat)
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, prepare the Cajun spice rub.
- In a separate small bowl, prepare the Cajun injection liquid.
- Remove turkey from the refrigerator and allow it to rest at room temperature to remove the chill.
- Prepare turkey by removing neck and giblets from cavity, then patting dry with paper towels.
- Prepare fryer by adding peanut oil and heating until the oil temperature reaches 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Inject turkey with Cajun injection fluid, about one ounce of injection for each pound of turkey.
- Pat turkey skin dry, then thoroughly coat the outside of the turkey and inside of the turkey cavity with Cajun spice rub.
- Fry the turkey for 3.5 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature of the thickest part of breast registers at 165 degrees Fahrenheit using an instant read meat thermometer.
- Allow turkey to rest for about 30 minutes before carving.
