Pro tip- To measure how much oil you need and avoid a over-flow of oil when adding your turkey, a day or two before frying, I put my thawed turkey still wrapped in packaging in the pot, fill with water until the turkey is submerged, **then remove the the turkey from the water and mark a line with a sharpie. This tells how much oil to fill. Also, if your doing 2 birds, for example if you have a 15 lbs bird and one that's 13 lbs, your 15 lbs bird will need less oil because it weights more and the oil will rise higher then then a 13 lbs bird...I try to fry the same weight when cooking multiple birds.

I think its implied, but I think you missed a step of fill with water to submerge the turkey, then remove the turkey and mark the line.

@@guttagullotine2236 because the water would act as if it's oil. When you put a big 15 lb bird in liquid (water, oil whatever) it will rise a lot. The water is simply to measure how much oil you should put in your fryer. That's just something I've done over the years to measure my oil. When my turkey thaws, and is still in packaging, I put it in water in my pot and mark a line where the turkey is submerge so the day of I know how much oil to add.

Good tip. Thou you would put the turkey in the pot, put water until it's submerged, take turkey back out then mark the water level. If you use the mark while the turkey is still in, then you will have too much oil and risk having major spillage.

Awesome!! Thank you for your dedication to teaching great BBQ!!

Love the video and whole series has been super helpful!

I have been brining and injecting my fried turkey for the past few years. I use Cachere's cajun butter, and it's amazing!

Love, Love, Love the Meat Church cutting board! Oh, and the Turkey looked outstanding.

This is the first Thanksgiving and first time I will do deep fry turkey. Thanks for sharing your video!

Been frying turkeys for several years now. Bought an electric turkey fryer last year. Loved it! No open fire to worry about. Still used it outside to keep the smell out of the house for days. But it works great.

I've been frying turkey every year for over 20 years as well. I'm always looking for ways to improve what comes out of the oil. I've only found your channel and seasonings this year, but so far I'm very happy with them and I may have to give them a try for our turkey this year. I've never injected a turkey either in all of these years, but I've been wanting to try it. This may be the year to give it a go.

I always fry the turkey, been doing it around 20 years as well. I have a Masterbuilt indoor turkey fryer, no propane, no risk of Fire, just a big deep fryer. I always use the "Cajun" brand of injectables, my favorite is the roasted garlic and herb injection.

That Loco cooker is legit. Bought it last year when you featured it.

Don’t know what you’re saying.., but I agree!

Mustard is a great binder. It gives the seasonings something to adhere to and it gives the bird a good crispy texture without changing the flavor. Great video!

I had deep fried turkey years back. I would have to say its definitely my favorite aswell.

This is the time of the year I start binging on turkey vids from last season. Trying to develop a plan of attack.

Definitely the best way to make a turkey peanut oil a little pricey but injected and in oil so good

Thanks for all you for us Mr. Pittman! What are your thoughts about spatchcocking, brining (already have your birdbath brine), and also injecting, then putting it on my Timberline 1300?

I’m guessing your production crew eats better then any other crew on the planet. Definitely trying this out for turkey day this year……

happy thanksgiving everyone

Good job Brasil very like all recipe

DAM!!!! EVERYTHING I WANT FROM THIS VID AND THE LINKS ARE ALL SOLD OUT...GREAT VID..THANKS

Seeeeessshhhh your store is awsoeme

Dang that looks good. I always wanted to do a Cajun turkey, but my family is too bland.

Love me some Tony’s in my deep fired turkeys!

Always wondered what do you guys do with all the food in these videos?

This is great and I appreciate the video and that this is all free advice. I will say that an inexperienced cook should absolutely temp the breast and pull it in the low 150s. Carryover will take it to 160-165, which is safe to eat. Overcooking even a few minutes can dry out the breast. I did one once where I pulled it out at 160 in the breast and it was solid but overcooked by my standard.

How long do you let your Turkey set after injecting it before frying ? I’ve seen several different recipes showing anywhere from 5 mins to 36 hrs

Question: when you get it to temp and you turn the fire back on, do you keep the flame low or mid or what? I guess just hot enough to keep it at the 350?

Perfection!!! How about the rub with cornstarch next time?

How on earth is someone going to Thumbs Down this? Matt, this is what I am going to do now, too! Nice work!!

Just bought your turkey kit at academy sports last night. Got 2 birds to fry this year. Don’t let me down! Lol

I could taste the creole butter !! YUM!!!

2:23, you damn right!

I smoked a 22 lb. Turkey a couple days ago,first one and first time trying a brine. I'm a believer. Bird came out of the brine a real pretty white. Can't hardly overcook a brined bird. I also have fried many a Turkey injected and not and they have never been anything but juicy.

What heat gloves are you using?

Hey Matt I watch all your videos love your stuff I was thinking of a new way to categorize everything it would be awesome to have a playlist for each seasoning or the main focused seasoning for each recipe then you could watch recipes with just the gospel or fajita or whatever. That would be really useful I think, keep up the great work!
