Since I'm on the disabled list, were going to my future daughter-in-laws for T-Day dinner. My son is frying a turkey or two I'm to bring a couple of goodies. I taught him how to fry and now after about 25 turkey frying years the torch is passed to him.
Deep Fried Turkey
1 whole turkey (maximum 14 pounds)
1 thawed turkey (maximum 14 pounds)
Injectable flavored marinade
Dry rub (any flavor)
# Be sure the turkey is completely thawed and free of excess water. Inject it with the marinade then cover the outside of the turkey with your favorite dry rub.
# Fill turkey fryer pot with oil to the oil line. Bring oil to 400°F.*
# Place turkey horizontally, breast up, in basket. Wearing a long barbecue mitt, slowly lower the basket with the turkey into the oil. Cook for 3 minutes per pound then add 5 minutes to the total cooking time. (Example: A 14-pound turkey should cook for 47 minutes.) Turkey may float before cooking time is complete, but continue cooking for total amount of calculated time.
# When turkey is done, turn off the appliance. Slowly and carefully remove the basket, attaching hook to basket handle. Allow the turkey to drain and cool.
That's one way....I do mine at about 360 and 3 1/2 minutes a pound. Internal thigh temp should approach about 170.
I do breast as well and they take 8 minutes a pound at about 360. I have no idea why just a breast takes longer?

She also enjoyed the Oyster dressing , plus they would have a side dish of fried oysters to go with it. Two pints of oysters , one in the dressing and one fried on the side. :|
