Roast the turkey: The rule of thumb for cooking a turkey is 13 minutes per pound. So our 16-pound turkey was estimated to cook in about 3 1/2 hours. However, some factors like brining the bird, cooking with an empty (un-stuffed) cavity, and leaving the legs un-trussed will contribute to much faster cooking.
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.
