Fried turkey has become quite the rage in recent years; maybe it's because of the ultracrispy coating and juicy meat so akin to a good bite of fried chicken. See our tips below for safe operation.
== Ingredients ==
* ! (5- to 6-pound) bone-in turkey breast, thawed
* 1 quart water
* 2 tablespoons salt
* 2 teaspoons garlic salt
* 2 teaspoons ground red pepper
* 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
* 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
* 1 to 1 1/2 gallons peanut oil
== Directions ==
# Rinse turkey with cold water; pat dry.
# Combine 1 quart water and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
# Place turkey breast, breast side down, in marinade.
# Cover and marinate in refrigerator at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
# Thoroughly drain, but don't rinse turkey; discard marinade.
# Combine flour and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
# Dredge turkey in seasoned flour, pressing gently to coat, and let stand 10 minutes. (This helps the coating adhere during frying.)
# Pour peanut oil to fill line into a deep propane turkey fryer, and heat to 325°.
# Place turkey on fryer rod.
# Wearing heavy-duty work gloves or an oven mitt, carefully lower turkey into hot oil using rod attachment.
# Slowly increase heat so oil temperature returns to 325° to 350° (this may take some time).
# Fry turkey 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 170°.
# Remove from oil; drain and cool slightly before serving.
