Simple and quick way to make a moist holiday bird. Make sure it's completely dry and the oil's the right temperature before you lower that bird in! Corn oil is high-quality so you don't have to throw it away after one go-round.

THanks for posting this. I bought my fiance a deep fryer several years ago. I thought ugh, I would hate it. Frying in all that grease. We ended up making it for new years eve, it was delicious! Not greasy a all. Super moist. We can never wait to have this. I ended up buying a high quality fryer commercial size. We love it so much. Dont make it enough. Thanks for posting


I have never fried a turkey, but now I am temted to try it.
Tell me, would this method work if I were to inject the bird with some type of spiced juices?
I don't want a grease fire.


Absolutely inject the bird with yumminess! It's the best. You can also brine it with lots of seasonings.


What if I just wanted to do a turkey thigh? How long would it take to cook that?


Not a clue, your best bet is to take it's temperature with a meat thermometer. I doubt it would be long.
