**** You will need a turkey rig to fry the turkeys and a syringe to inject them.****
For the marinade:
1 32 oz bottle of Zing Zang bloody Mary Mix
For the seasoning mix:
1 cup kosher salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
To fry:
1 turkey (10 to 12 pounds )
About 10 gallons of peanut oil
Fill a syringe with Zing Zang Bloody Mary Mix and inject the turkey in the breast and thigh area as well as the back, legs and wings. You will have to refill the syringe several times. Next take your seasoning mix and rub evenly all over the turkey.
Place turkey in a large plastic bag and secure before icing or refrigerating for 24 hours.
To fry the turkey:
Fill a large pot three quarters full with the peanut oil and heat the oil to between 350 and 360 degrees F. Place the tutkey in the basket insert and carefully and slowly lower it into the hot oil. Turn the turkey every 10 minutes, using long handled forks. A whole turkey will take about 3 to 5 minutes per pound to cook. It is done when the internal temperature reache 170 to 180 degrees F. on an instant read meat thermometer. Carefully lift the basket out of the hot oil. This can be done by inserting a broomstick through the handles and having two strong people lift the basket out of the pot. Using the long handled forks, transfer the turkey to a large brown paper bag and let stand for about 20 minutes before removing to carve.
