Safety First: Always exercise extreme caution when deep-frying, especially with large items like a turkey. Ensure you are outdoors and away from flammable materials. Oil Temperature is Key: Maintaining the correct oil temperature is crucial for a perfectly cooked turkey. Use a deep-fry thermometer and adjust the heat as needed. Dry Turkey is Essential: Ensure the turkey is completely dry before frying to prevent dangerous splattering of hot oil.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare for Frying (5 minutes): Ensure you have a turkey fryer or large stockpot filled with enough peanut oil, leaving ample space to prevent overflow when the turkey is submerged. Heat the oil to 400°F (200°C). Line a large platter with food-safe paper bags.
02 Step
Recipe View Season the Turkey (10 minutes): Rinse the turkey thoroughly and pat it completely dry with paper towels. Generously rub the Creole seasoning inside the cavity and all over the outer surfaces of the turkey. Ensure the neck cavity is open at least 2 inches to allow oil to circulate freely.
03 Step
Recipe View Submerge and Fry (45 minutes): Turn off the heat source temporarily. Place the whole onion into the drain basket, followed by the turkey, neck-end first. Slowly and carefully lower the basket into the hot oil until the turkey is fully submerged. Turn the heat source back on and maintain the oil temperature at 350°F (175°C). Fry for approximately 45 minutes, or about 3 1/2 minutes per pound, until the turkey is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear.
04 Step
Recipe View Drain and Rest (15 minutes): Carefully remove the basket from the fryer and allow the turkey to drain thoroughly. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) but no more than 180°F (80°C). Transfer the turkey to the prepared platter lined with paper bags and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
05 Step
Recipe View Serve and Enjoy: Carve the deep-fried turkey and serve warm. Prepare to be amazed by the crispy skin and juicy, flavorful meat!
