Deep Fried Cajun Turkey

==Description==
Made this for Father's day. You need a deep fryer, an injector and a thermometer for this. This must be made out doors away from building on a bright sunny day.
===Ingredients===
* 12-16 	 lbs Turkey, washed dried inside and out
*1/4 	cup cajun seasoning, try my Cajun spice mix recipe 92066
*8 	tablespoons butter
*8 	tablespoons olive oil
*2 	cloves garlic
*2 	fresh sage leaves, chopped
*1 	sprig fresh rosemary, chopped
*2 	sprigs fresh thyme, chopped
*	pepper
===Directions===
Take whole Turkey place in deep fryer fill with water remove Turkey.<BR>
Mark the water line with a marker.<BR>
Spill out water and dry careful not to remove marked line.<BR>
Fill with canola oil.<BR>
Heat oil to 350 degrees.<BR>
In a small pot melt butter and oil and fresh herbs and crushed garlic let simmer 15 minutes.<BR>
Strained and set aside.<BR>
Save garlic and herbs.<BR>
Tie legs and wings with cotton string to keep them in place next to the body.<BR>
Place the chopped strained garlic and herbs under the skin of the Turkey.<BR>
Inject the herbed butter-oil mixture into the breast and legs.<BR>
Rub the cajun mixture inside and outside of the Turkey.<BR>
Place the Turkey breast side up in lowering slowly into oil.
*CAUTION: Of splattering oil.
Fry Turkey 3 1/2 minute per pound.<BR>
Use a meat thermometer in the thigh and when it reads 180 degrees its done.<BR>
Remove from hot oil and drain on paper towels.<BR>
Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.<BR>
Carve and serve.<BR>
I`m really sorry that I didn`t get a picture of the Turkey before I carved it.<BR>
So the carved picture is what you get for now.<BR>
I`m making this for the Fourth of July so I hope to get the picture of the whole Turkey then.
