I spray pam on the out side of the bird and add some rub to it Lemon Pepper or what ever you like the pam will help the rub stick to the bird

How big is your bird?  Give the bird a good run and fry away.  4-5 minutes a pound.  Heat the oil to 375 and watch it too much oil and we'll visit you in the hospital.  Not enough oil and half the bird won't be done.  Make sure you cut around the neck so you have a wide opening.  Most people cut off the wings, I don't!  Good luck!! Garlic butter injections sounds good but I never tried.  I use a mix of teriaky and garlic powder.

its 13.95 lbs, and the video said 1" over the bird for oil? 

I have a special rub for it, cayenne, pepper and garlic that I use for smoking chicken and its DA'BOMB  :drool: its rubbed down now, and gonna get injected in the morning. if you have never done chicken or turkey with injected garlic in melted butter, then you havent eaten  :o

Welding gloves and long sleeves are key. Water + oil = huge fire, so make sure that birds dry when you go to put it in the oil. Lower it in very slowly and watch your hand cause it can volcano out the top a little. Do not deep fry a turkey on snowy ground, do it on concrete or grass. You'll be good with Austrian Hunter's temp and time.

Never done the injector but your recipe sounds real good!

Yea, make sure your bird is as dry as it can be before you put it in the oil.  And GO SLOW!!!! Real slow!  If you don't have a triangular lift you can make one with a metal hanger.  The rub you mention sounds great!! This will be by far the best turkey you ever eaten!!!  Moist inside crisp outside !!!!!

14 pound bird is good size for frying.  I would maybe get an extra gallon of oil in case. You can go the extra mile and put the bird in the pot and ad water,easier the water and this will tell you how much oil you need.  Too late though if you have the rub on the bird already!  Again, be careful salt in you rub will make the bird sweat.

nope i dont do salt injections either, yes they plump up but then they (chicken) deflate and are sad, i do garlic and melted hot butter in my ninja and then inject it, when its all liquified it runs all over in the meat and under the skin on chicken, we shall see with turkey! might try a garlic buttered Bourbon injection i been meaning to try  :tup:

so do i have the inside of the turkey empty?   stuffed with taters?  :chuckle: or?

as for lowering the turkey i might make a fast tripod and lower it in with a rope from a distance  :IBCOOL:

Premeasure with water is a must  :twocents:
