CAJUN DEEP-FRIED TURKEY RECIPE | ALLRECIPES
Delicious, juicy and tender, this recipe was given to me by a true Cajun sixteen years ago and has been on our Thanksgiving table ever since. The injector and instructions for frying came with our fryer which was a good thing because this original recipe didn't explain all the nuances of frying a turkey. It is well worth the learning process, though. We strain the peanut oil after it cools and pour it back into the containers (I bought it in gallon jugs). It will keep nicely in a cool place, under 40 degrees, or in the refrigerator until needed again.

  • Heat the oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). When the oil has come to temperature, lower the turkey into the hot oil slowly using the hanging device that comes with turkey deep-fryers. The turkey should be completely submerged in the oil. Cook for 36 minutes, or 3 minutes per pound of turkey. The turkey is done when the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Turn off the flame and slowly remove from the oil, making sure all of the oil drains out of the cavity. Allow to rest on a serving platter for about 20 minutes before carving.

CAJUN SMOKED TURKEY RECIPE | SOUTHERN LIVING
Add some Cajun flavor to your Thanksgiving table this year. With a mix of herbs, this dry rub recipe is an easy way to switch up the flavor of your typical turkey. Dry brining your turkey and leaving it uncovered in the refrigerator overnight allows the brine to really penetrate the skin and get into the meat. This process also dries out the skin, giving you a crisp, deep amber color colored exterior when smoked. We also used the dry brine on the interior, by sprinkling into the cavity, as well as mixing a bit with butter, then rubbing it under the skin before smoking. This ensures a full flavored, juicy, moist turkey. Turkey is safe to eat when the thickest portion reaches 165°F, but that's not the temperature to look for when the bird is still on the smoker. Instead, remove the turkey at 155°F, and cover loosely with foil. The meat will continue to "cook" as it rests and will remain tender and juicy.
