ANDY'S DEEP FRIED TURKEY Items Needed: deep pot (big enough to fit turkey into whole) burner (butane is best) any size turkey 1 peeled large onion seasoning to taste (Season-All is very good) 5 gal. lard, vegetable oil, or peanut oil Use a turkey that will feed your gang. Season the turkey as you would season a roast with any seasoning you desire. With the remaining seasoning rub over outside of bird. Place the whole turkey into pot of grease with a cooking temperature of about 250 degrees to 270 degrees (it takes about 30 minutes to get grease hot), making sure grease is hot when you put turkey in. If you do not have a temperature gauge, you can use an onion while frying the bird, because the onion skin will start to burn before the turkey will; so you can use this for your gauge. At the correct temperature your grease will have a slow rolling boil. The cooking time for the turkey is 4 1/2 minutes per pound. It is best to use the weight of the turkey times 4 1/2 minutes as your guide and not cook it by looks. Allow about 10 minutes cool down time before carving. If you follow these directions you will serve a main dish that your guests will talk about for generations to come! Tip: Rub dishwashing liquid on bottom of pot before you start cooking, it will clean easier afterwards.
