Deep Fried Turkey

[mosesbotbol]

I have a deep fried turkey planned for the big day. If it rains or is too cold out, I am doing it on the smoker instead.

I plan on brining, seasoning, then cold smoking a little before the deep frier.

Well, the turkey came out good, but I did it different than planned. I dry cured the turkey with salt, ground rosemary, and garlic powder. I rinsed the turkey off after 24 hours of curing and then coat the skin and under with smoked paprika oil. It was a 13 lb turkey and took 45 minutes at 350 in deep fryer.

It was a huge hit, my parents thought it was the best turkey I have cooked...
