Begin heating the oil over medium high heat. If you have a deep fat frying thermometer, use it! The best temperature is 350 to 375 degrees F. If you don't have a thermometer, the oil is ready when a 1 cube of white bread dropped into the oil browns in 60 seconds; that oil temperature will be about 365 degrees F. Don't overcrowd the pan!
1 Once the oil is heated, slowly lower the turkey into the fryer. 2  The turkey may not be totally immersed in the oil. 3  This may cause the top part of the breast to remain white even though it is cooked to the proper end temperature. 4  Set the timer and cook the turkey about 3 to 4 minutes per pound. Deep-fry your turkey outside on a flat surface, far away from homes, garages, wooden decks, etc. 2  To determine how much oil is needed for frying, place the thawed turkey in the fryer basket and place it in the fryer. 3  Add water until the top of the turkey is barely covered.
