Imagine pulling out a turkey that is golden all over at your next Thanksgiving gathering. Nothing beats a deep-fried turkey, which is ready in less than an hour. With a wire hanger and some thick cotton twine, you can deep fry a turkey like a pro.
Instructions
1. Purchase cotton twine. Do not use a plastic or wax coated twine, which will melt in the oil.
2. Rinse the turkey under cold water, and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the turkey on a level surface.
3. Cut a piece of twine long enough to wrap around the turkey legs several times. A good amount to work with is 2 1/2 feet of twine.
4. Tie the twine to one turkey leg, and knot the twine.
5. Wrap the twine around both of the , wrapping the twine around each leg four or five times. Bring the end of the twine up between both legs. Finish with a secure knot and cut off the excess twine.
6. Place a metal hanger through the turkey or use a commercial turkey holder to lower the turkey in the hot oil.
