I have never deep fried a turkey. I've never even gotten a chance to taste a turkey that has been deep fried. However, ever since I heard it was possible, I've been hugely intrigued by the process. The first time it aired, I was totally glued to Alton Brown's show (the clip above is from that show) on the best way to fry a bird. Some day, when I actually have outdoor space, I hope to try it. Until then, I will just have to content myself with watching others do it.
Mahalo has put together a collection of video clips from all over the internet that all offer turkey-frying instruction and edification. They also have a helpful page of step-by-step instructions as to what you need to do it right, how to prepare the turkey and the equipment and how to best go about actually frying the bird. If you're looking for an account of how one family deep fries their turkey every year, look no further than the Goodyblog. They offer their recipe as well as pictures of the prep and process. And, oh my gosh, does their turkey look good.
