Fried turkey ??

So a few questions:

1. Is it worth the hassle and cost to fry a turkey?

2. If you have a peanut allergy, do i assume correctly that peanut oil is a no-no?

3. If you don’t use peanut oil, what do you use?

4. Is it pretty easy to ruin a turkey if you’ve never fried one before, or is this pretty easy ?

I have used both an oil and oil-less fryer for turkeys. I personally think the oil-less fryer works just good as the oil fryer, and not having to spend 80 bucks on oil.

I hate to even admit it, but my first thought after seeing your title to this thread that traveled through my cortex was, Jive turkey. Dammit WTH.

Just make sure the turkey is completely frozen before you put it in the friar



Edit: This is a joke btw

I love mine. So many other things I have cooked in it. Pork shoulder for pulled pork is spectacular.

I have used my smoker more lately, but I have also cooked a lot of different cuts in the fryer. Have you ever had "Fried Prime Rib"? Throw a rib roll in that bad boy. You will not be disappointed.

My wife who has never liked turkey does not care for the fried turkey, although everyone else that has tried it loves it. She has never been a fan of turkey in general until I smoked my first bird a few years back. She told me to get rid of my fryers and that I am smoking our turkey from now on. I will admit that it is better, I just have not done one yet for a larger crowd as our kitchen was under construction last year, and we only had my in-laws over this year. I will get a better idea next year when we resume our normal dinner plans for Thanksgiving with a larger crowd.
 
I smoke and deep fry turkeys for both Thanks Giving and Christmas. I love both. On the fried turkey I brine overnight and then inject the breasts b4 frying. 1 side garlic butter and the other a Cajun butter injection. Excellent.

Up until recently I have smoked, then fried my turkeys. My smoker died, so I am now shopping.

I would smoke the bird on really low heat for about 4 hours, then finish it in the big easy. Best of both worlds.
