If you are looking to fry a turkey, then this is gonna be, hands down, the best article you’ll ever find.

Deep fried turkey has got to be the single best way to enjoy your turkey this holiday season.

Damn!!!! That’s good.

However, traditional kettle style electric and propane deep dryers are dangerous and can cause one hell of a fire ball. I have found that a better, albeit less masculine alternative, is the indoor electric turkey fryer that Masterpiece and Butterball just came up with.

So, before you decide on a turkey fryer, take a minute to read these few words of wisdom from a deep frying turkey fart from way back in the cut.

You’ll be glad you did.

Even today, I still find hoards of people that have never had the opportunity to savor the juicy, spicy taste of deep fried turkey. But, they want to – even if they don’t know it yet.

In The South, We Love To Fry

Here in the South, frying animals is an art form. The cooking pot has been a gathering place of beer drinking old farts since Methusela was a child.

We boil crawfish, crabs and shrimp in the summer. We fry turkeys and wings in the winter.

Occasionally, we throw in a squirrel or two just because we can.

Deep Frying A Turkey

To deep fry turkey, you need a 40-60 quart pot (depending on the size of your bird), 3-5 gallons of peanut oil and a 11-13 lb bird.

You inject the bird with seasonings (Cajun, cayenne pepper, etc) and fill the pot with enough oil to submerge the turkey by two inches. Do a dry run with cold water to see how much you’ll need. Dry the pot and fill it with an equal amount of oil.

Heat the oil to 325 degrees. Once the oil is really boiling, submerge the turkey in the oil and cook for 3 minutes per pound.

For God sakes, do not overfill the container or knock it over. It will make one hell of a fire ball and you might just ruin the turkey.  Kettle fryers are dangerous!!

Most rookie turkey fryers underestimate just how dangerous a traditional style turkey fryer can be. If you overfill it or knock it over, you will have a huge fire ball.

I have never seen middle aged drunk men run as fast as they do at the site of the dreaded turkey explosion.

And, it ain't funny......

Well, it actually is......

Once we figure out that no one got hurt.

And that brings me to my next point.

If you are drinking beer, grab assing with your buddies and watching football, you are liable to get careless and have an accident.

If you think your old lady was already bitchin’ about the damn turkey, think about what she’ll be screaming at you when you ruin her Thanksgiving dinner as she is rushing your charbroiled ass to the hospital.

And, if being burned and bitched at weren’t bad enough, you don’t get to eat any fried turkey either.

Damn! That would be a shame!!

I recently weighed the pros and cons of switching from my traditional propane cooker to the new indoor electric model that Masterpiece and Butterball just started making.

Even though preparing a bird the traditional way was more manly, I decided it just wasn’t worth the sacrifice in terms of beer, grab assin' and football.

The Masterpiece Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer

This is the most convenient electric turkey fryer out there. Most importantly it can be used safely indoors on a counter top.

And, I get to eat fried turkey.

Because it can be used indoors, frying the turkey is now officially my wife’s job.

Let her deal with it and bitch at herself if it isn’t ready on time.

Meanwhile, I have more time to drink beer, grab ass and watch my football.
