– 12-pound turkey, fully thawed. – Peanut Oil, for deep frying. – Smoked Turkey Brine – Creole Butter Injection
Ingredients
Submerge the turkey in the brine and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight up to 24 hours is best).
Inject the turkey at approximately ½-inch intervals in the breasts, thighs, and legs, paying extra attention to the breast area.
Deep fry turkey until the breast reaches 160℉ internal. It will carry over cooking to reach 165℉.
Remove turkey from the oil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
