Deep Fried Cajun Turkey image

Made this for Fathers day. You need a deep fryer, an injector and a thermometer for this. This must be made out doors away from building on a bright sunny day.

  • Place the chopped strained garlic and herbs under the skin of the turkey.

  • Rub the cajun mixture inside and outside of the turkey.
  • Place the turkey breast side up in lowering slowly into oil.
  • CAUTION Of splattering oil.
  • Fry turkey 3 1/2 minute per pound.
  • Use a meat thermometer in the thigh and when it reads 180 degrees its done.
  • Remove from hot oil and drain on paper towels.
  • Lets rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Carve and serve.
  • I`m really sorry that I didn`t get a picture of the turkey before I carved it.
  • So the carved picture is what you get for now.
  • I`m making this for the Fourth of July so I hope to get the picture of the whole turkey then.

This turkey was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for.

This recipe was a disaster. The turkey was burnt and the gravy was lumpy. I do not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the turkey didn't come out crispy at all. The skin was soggy and the meat was dry.

I've made this turkey twice now and it's been perfect both times. The meat is so juicy and flavorful, and the skin is crispy and delicious. I highly recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the turkey turned out perfectly. It was so moist and flavorful, and the skin was crispy and golden brown. My family loved it!

This Cajun turkey was a hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the crispy skin was perfect. We'll definitely be making this again next year.
