Safe Turkey Frying a Hot Topic as More Home Chefs Experiment with Southern Thanksgiving Tradition
/PRNewswire/ -- More people are interested in fried turkey than ever before, a scrumptious trend right before Thanksgiving. And with more people sampling the crunchy goodness that comes from the combination of hot oil and succulent poultry, there's an increased demand for preparing the holiday feast safely.
With the right turkey frying recipe, equipment and safety precautions, the only thing that should be ablaze at Thanksgiving are compliments for chefs.
A majority of consumers (58 percent) want a safer way to fry turkey, according to a 2010 survey by Masterbuilt, which makes cooking homemade meals easy by designing and building safe, versatile and quality fryers, smokers and grills. A Georgia family business run by CEO John McClemore, Masterbuilt offers the following turkey frying tips:
* Thaw: Turkeys must be safely thawed before they're fried. Partially frozen turkeys have ice right under the skin. Ice converts to water and then to steam. The means of escape is for the water to turn into a bubble in the hot oil. No ice? No problem.
* Watch pets and children: Monitor your turkey frying. Never leave hot oil unattended. While fried turkey cooks relatively quickly compared to roasting (3-5 minutes per pound, meaning a 12-pound turkey is done in about an hour), it needs to be watched to ensure the meal is the only thing that gets cooked.
* Equipment: Never use a propane unit inside a house, covered porch or garage to fry a turkey. Flames and enclosure spaces are a recipe for trouble and a call to 911. Indoor and countertop preparation is possible only with electric units designed for such use (like the Butterball Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer by Masterbuilt, complete with CSA certification.) Check for safety features, like thermostats to prevent overheating, lids that close and rubber feet that keep fryers safely on countertops.
* Oil: Do not overfill your oil. Let used oil cool completely, overnight if necessary. Oil can be used up to five times before it should be disposed.
"Deep-fried turkeys create memorable family moments. The noise of the bubbling oil, the smell of the frying and the unique taste of the turkey signal a special celebration for families across the country. Traditions are important and so is safety," said McClemore, a chef himself who's authored "Dadgum That's Good," a cookbook of down home favorites. (More info: www.dadgumthatsgood.com.)
Consumers feel positive about fried turkey and would welcome more opportunities to enjoy it, according to Masterbuilt's survey this year. Other survey results include:
* The most common reasons for not having fried a turkey are a lack of equipment (46 percent) and a lack of knowledge about how to fry a turkey (39 percent).
* Consumers who were aware of fried turkey also wished that they could have it more often; with 25 percent saying they would like to eat it at least once a month.
* 62 percent of those who are familiar with the taste of fried turkey agree vs. 16 percent of those who are unfamiliar with the taste of fried turkey.
Recipe: Cajun-Fried Turkey
Ingredients
1 10 to 12 pound fresh or frozen turkey
2 Gallons oil for frying
1 (16-ounce) bottle Butterball Buttery Creole Turkey Marinade
Butterball Cajun Turkey Seasoning to taste
Directions
Completely thaw turkey, if frozen. Preheat oil to 400º F. Remove giblets and neck; reserve for other uses. If present, remove and discard plastic leg holder and pop-up timer. Rinse turkey well with cold water; drain cavity. Dry turkey well with paper towels. Inject 1/2 cup marinade into each side of breast. Inject 1/4 cup marinade into each leg and thigh. Sprinkle turkey generously with Butterball Cajun Seasoning. Place turkey, breast side up, in basket. Slowly lower basket into hot oil; be cautious of splattering oil. Maintain oil temperature around
350° F. Fry turkey for 3 1/2 minutes per pound. Remove from oil to check doneness. Insert an instant-read thermometer in the meaty part of the thigh; it is done when it reads 180º F. Remove from hot oil and drain on paper towels. Let rest 15 minutes. Carefully carve with sharp knife.

Outdoor Cooking Sparks New Ideas for Thanksgiving Meals
(BUSINESS WIRE)--Americans are rethinking tradition this Thanksgiving with more than 70 percent of consumers saying they would opt out of the oven and instead grill (18 percent), smoke (25 percent) or fry (28 percent) their turkey, according to a new poll by the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (HPBA). Turkeys can be fried in less than an hour, smoked over low heat for several hours or even cooked on a grill – each option offers a mouthwatering meal packed with juicy flavor and crispy taste.
According to the National Turkey Federation (NTF), an estimated 46 million turkeys will be cooked this holiday. Based on HPBA consumer poll responses, that means up to 32.2 million turkeys could be getting the boot from the oven! Americans agree that grilling, smoking and frying are preferable to the oven for a number of reasons:
* Allows you to try something new (54 percent of respondents)
* Gives you a more tender or juicy turkey (54 percent of respondents)
* Frees up space in your oven for other cooking (53 percent of respondents)
* Easier clean up (52 percent of respondents)
“More than one-third of Americans plan to cook some part of their Thanksgiving meal outdoors this year,” said Leslie Wheeler, HPBA Communications Director. “Americans look forward to cooking their holiday meal outdoors for its savory results and no muss, no fuss approach. Whether it’s to start a new family tradition, to try a new recipe or even just to free up space in the oven, more and more people are turning to grilling, smoking and frying for their Thanksgiving feast.”
Whether consumers plan to grill, smoke or fry this year’s whole turkey or turkey breast, HPBA and NTF offer preparation and cooking tips to ensure a safe and delicious Thanksgiving meal.
Tips for Outdoor Cooking and the Ultimate Turkey Experience
* Check to make sure the grill, smoker or fryer is in working order.
* Be sure to read the owner’s manual for safety precautions.
* Stock up on enough charcoal, propane, oil or wood chips needed to cook the meal.
* Be sure to use the grill, smoker or fryer outside only – never indoors and make sure that it’s set-up on a flat, stable surface, preferably on a protective grill pad, and away from any combustible materials.
* Purchase a whole turkey according to the weight recommendations in your grill’s, smoker’s or fryer’s owner’s manual.
* Thaw the turkey completely and pat it dry. Cook the bird un-stuffed.
* Brine the turkey for increased flavor and moisture.
* Outdoor cooking times depend on many factors: the size and shape of the turkey, the distance from the heat and the outside air temperature. Allow more time on cold or windy days and at high altitudes. Allow less time in very hot weather.
* Have a food thermometer handy to measure the internal temperature of the bird; the temperature should be 165° F to 170° F in the breast and 175° F to 180° F in the thigh.
Don’t Forget The Trimmings!
Beyond the bird, seven in ten Americans admit that they would like to see grilled side dishes on their Thanksgiving platters, including grilled vegetables (51 percent) or grilled bread, fruits or desserts (18 percent). While the turkey is the centerpiece of the meal, Thanksgiving’s savory side dishes and trimmings can all be cooked outdoors. Try America’s Outdoor Cooking Experts Bill and Cheryl Jamison’s recipes for crispy smashed potatoes, grilled apples slices or grilled vegetable orzo, available at www.hpba.org.
