Liberally sprinkle the outside of the turkey with Cajun Shake. Have your peanut oil heated to 350 degrees. Plan ahead, because it takes time to heat. Hang the deep-fry thermometer over the side of the pot with a bent coat hanger for easy reading of the oil temperature. Be careful doing this.
Immersion causes quite a reaction.
The oil temperature will drop, so increase the flame a bit to bring it slowly back up to 350 degrees. To remove the turkey, carefully find the basket handle with a coat hanger, then slip the lifting rod back under the handle to remove the basket. Let the excess oil drip into the pot. It helps if two people do this, so one person can slide the cookie sheet back under the turkey. This lets you find the level for the oil and avoid overflow.
