This recipe came from a Southern gal who obviously knows her food. She wrote on the recipe the basis for a good fried turkey is the rub. I must say I agree with her on this one, this is the only way we cook our turkey now. The rub and injection are a great combination-I guarantee a moist, flavorful bird. Cooking times are estimated based on the size of your bird. Ingredients:
1/4 cup chili powder |
1/4 cup paprika |
1/4 cup ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons salt |
1 1/2 tablespoons onion powder |
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder |
1 1/2 tablespoons cayenne powder |
12 -24 ounces bottled beer |
2 -3 bay leaves |
2 teaspoons crushed garlic |
1 -2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce |
2 tablespoons honey |
1/4 cup louisiana hot sauce (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix all rub ingredients together and apply ample quantities to the outside of the turkey. Let meat marinade for 8-24 hours.
2. Combine injection recipe ingredients including 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the rub; boil and reduce to 1 cup. Cool and strain mixture then inject into all areas of the turkey.
3. Fry turkey according to weight of bird and fryer instructions. DO NOT attempt this indoors or too close to a builidng.
