Cooking InstructionsHide images

step 1

Pat Whole Turkey (14 lb) dry inside and out with a paper towel. This step is very important, since hot oil and water create a violent reaction.

step 2

Into a pot, add Water (10 fl oz), Butter (1 stick), and Cajun Marinade (1 pckg). Stir together and heat until the mixture is lukewarm.

step 3

Inject the cajun mixture into the turkey in a series of three straight lines down the back, as well as into the legs.

step 4

Tuck the wings behind the bird.

step 5

Preheat oil in deep fryer to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).

step 6

Deep fry turkey for 43 minutes, lowering into the oil very slowly.

step 7

Transfer turkey to cutting board and coat with Cajun Rub (to taste).

step 8

Place the turkey in a roasting bag and transfer to a cooler for 30 minutes.

step 9

Carve turkey, serve, and enjoy!
