Three Fantastic And Easy Fried Turkey Recipes For This Thanksgiving Holiday
Millions of Americans will be cooking turkey in the next couple of weeks as my favourite holiday of the year rolls around... Thanksgiving.

No matter whether you're a fan of white or dark meat, here are many turkey fryer recipes which will be sure to wow you and your family this Thanksgiving:

Louisiana Style Deep Fried Turkey Recipe
I like spicy foods, so this Creole seasoned fried turkey recipe is one of my favorites.
Ingredients:
Peanut oil for frying (check directions for your turkey fryer for specific amount, but approximate amount should be 3 gallons)
1-10 to 12 pound turkey, whole
¼ cup Creole seasoning
1 white onion, whole
Remove the neck and giblets from the turkey; rinse and dry. Rub the turkey inside and out with the Creole seasoning. Place the turkey and the whole white onion in the fry basket. See the Usual Turkey Frying Directions below for instructions on methods to cook the turkey.
Deep Fried Rosemary Turkey
This is a more elegant fried turkey recipe, great if you're trying to impress the in-laws!
Ingredients:
1 (10-12 lb) whole turkey
1/2 cup minced garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
3 gallons peanut oil (or as required)
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
12 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup chopped fresh ginger root
Instructions:
Rub the turkey with the minced garlic, sale and pepper, on the inside and outside. Fill the cavity of the bird with rosemary, garlic cloves and the ginger. Marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Remove the herbs and garlic from the turkey and discard. Follow the standard turkey frying directions below. Enjoy!
Usual Turkey Frying Directions:
* Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Make sure the fryer is placed outdoors in a safe place (flat dirt or grassy surface away from the home, wooden decks or other flammable surfaces).
* Trim any additional skin away from the thawed turkey. The neck hole should be at least one inch in diameter. Pat the turkey dry, then rub liberally with salt and pepper on both the inside and outside. Place the turkey neck-side first into fry basket.
* Lower the basket into the hot oil, gently and slowly. Make sure the hot oil fully covers the turkey.
* Cook for 3 1/2 - 4 mins per pound. For a 10 pound turkey, it should take approximately 35-40 minutes to cook the bird.
* Remove the turkey from the oil and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of thigh to measure. Temperature should be 180 degrees F.
* Allow the turkey to rest for 15 minutes before carving.
