Excellent video! I'm doing my 1st deep fried turkey on Christmas day. I laughed at seeing your live turkey walking around behind you. Very helpful! Thank you!

Good luck, and have a wonderful Christmas!

At 48:15 I couldn't help but chuckle when I spotted that turkey in the background, just casually chilling like it was waiting for its turn in the hot tub! I mean, I thought to myself, that guy is probably next in line for a spa day! And then there's your dog, giving the turkey the "I'm just here for moral support and maybe a nibble" look. But in all seriousness, thank you so much for this video! Your instructions are like a GPS for turkey frying, guiding me through the crispy journey ahead. With your help, I'm pretty sure I won't end up with a yard decoration instead of a Thanksgiving feast. Wishing you a gobble-tastic Thanksgiving, filled with laughter, crispy turkey, and a happy doggo hoping for more than just a sniff!

Fred (turkey) and Zeus (dog) say hello! (ruff translation 🤪) Thanks for your kind words, and best of luck on your frying adventure!

Great information. Thanks for the post.

Excellent instructions

I love deep fried turkey. That’s how I used to fix my turkey when I had Thanksgiving at my house. I liked using peanut oil, just made it taste so good. I hope you and your family have a blessed night and a Happily Blessed Thanksgiving!

Excellent!!

Glad you enjoyed it! Enjoy your first fry, it'll be great! (p.s. I see you pick locks. I dabble, but I'm not very good. I subscribed and am eager to watch your vids!)

Ha. Thanks for the sub. Yes I used to, but I have arthritis in my hands and don’t pick too much anymore. It’s painful for me. It’s a lot of fun, and can come in handy. Plus, I reached my limit as far as skill level. I have a ton of locks for beginners. If you want to send me your address as a private message I’ll send you some locks to practice with. And your skill level. I have some really easy and some really hard locks. My name is Rick.

Great video! Seems like it might be a good idea to turn the burner off when lowering the turkey in for the first time. Looks delicious.

Watchin' you slice it kinda hurt...it made me slobber all over my shirt! Excellent video! 🦃

Great beginner's guide to frying a turkey. The only thing I would change is put the turkey, while still wrapped in the original packaging, into the pot to check the oil level. Much simpler, and you won't rinse off any rub on the outside if you choose to use some.

Thanks for watching, and for the great tip!

Been thawing my frozen turkeys out on the back patio here in south Louisiana for years. I let it stay outside for about 16 hours then move it to the frig.

Great, thorough video. Though, fwiw, the breast doesn't need to be 165 for safety (nor any part). Safety is a function of both time and temp; the 165 is if it's at that temp for 1 instant. But since any time one is cooking the food is being cooked for awhile at 110, 120, 130, etc., that reduces how high it needs to get to. Which is why sous vide can safely cook at 135 degrees. As for preference of texture, breast can dry out at 165 (less so when deep frying, and with you injecting it), but dark meat is better when cooked to 175 or more, as you note.

Great video. Excellent detail. 1st time frying a turkey. Hope I don’t set myself on fire!!!😂

Glad it helped! You'll do great! Have blessed Thanksgiving!

Great video! Not sure if you noticed, but you were temping the bottom of the turkey and not in the breast which may be why you were getting a lot of variance.

Hi 👋🏻

Why you didn’t season the outside of the turkey

@FromtheRootsUp

3 ай бұрын

You could, but most of the seasoning on the outside will just wash off in the boiling oil, so I didn't bother. Go heavy if you season the outside!

Your burner kept going out because that electric regulator is also a timer

That's possible but I used it for almost an hour only one week prior and it never shut off. Timer should be consistent. I will see if I can find documentation that says anything about a timer. Thanks for the idea.

I had one like that and it was every 10 minutes I had to hit the button to reset it. I got rid of that set up.

You fried your turkey breast up vs breast down...please advise

@FromtheRootsUp

7 ай бұрын

Doesn't matter. Since my fryer came with the hook attachment, it goes in the cavity and out the neck, making the bird sit upright. If your dryer uses a basket instead, then just fit it in there however...as long as it's completely submerged in oil it'll cook.

Pouring oil in with fire burning….omg. Not good . Also turn off flame while lowering or raising turkey.

Tell Fred I’m glad he’s not in there too

Light bulb.. sorry couldn't help it

I had every intention of watching this video, but i just couldn't get through all the dragged out talking intro. Get to the substance man! I'm sure that bird came out great, but get to the point.

Thank you for the constructive criticism and good luck on your own channel. I do appreciate the irony of your whole channel name referencing the one problem you identified in my video: I was just rambling. 🤣 To each their own. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

@FromtheRootsUp Happy Thanksgiving! Didn't mean to offend buddy. I don't really do much with my channel these days. Life got too busy, but I'd love to start traveling and fishing again.
