Cajun Deep Fried Turkey

Ingredients

  • 10 gallons peanut oil
  • 10 to 15 lb turkey
  • 6 tsps salt
  • 6 tsps paprika
  • 6 tsps white pepper
  • 6 tsps cayenne
  • 6 tsps accent, optional
  • 16 ounces liquid crab boil concentrate

Instructions

CAUTION: Not recommended for indoor cooking. Rinse turkey inside and out. Mix 1 part crab boil concentrate to 4 parts water. Combine dry ingredients with crab boil solution. Adjust seasoning to taste. Inject turkey (approximately 2" apart) with mixture using syringe (available from gourmet kitchen stores.) Cover turkey with foil and refrigerate over night. Heat oil to 350. CAUTION: Use a grease thermometer to monitor the oil. It may ignite if the temperature goes above 375. Put turkey in basket and CAREFULLY lower it into the pot. Cook 5 minutes per pound. Check in 1 hour using a meat thermometer. NOTE: This is a great dish, but should only be attempted by someone who has experience with doing this. It is also expensive due to the large amount of oil needed.
