I have used this recipie for several years at Thanksgiving and Chirstmas too. It is by far the best Turkey that I, or my family and friends, have ever eaten. The only change that I make is that I don't use the rub Emeril suggests. I massage the bird with peanut oil, (the same oil used for frying then I rub with the turkey with essence.

Another Hint:
I pre-heat my oil to 400 degrees because when you drop the bird into the oil, the temp drops about 50 degrees. This way you keep the cooking temperature correct and the turkey does not get greasy.

I made this for Thankgiving and then again for New Years, and people LOVED it. One suggestion though, before injection and rub, put turket in fryer with oil to measure how much oil you need. This will help from spilling when you add the turkey to the hot oil. Also I don't use all the salt, when i did the skin was intensely salty.

This is the first time our family made a fried turkey. We were afraid to steer away from traditional turkey but now we don't want to go back to our old ways. This is way better and full of flavor. It comes out very juicy. I used the food processor to blend the marinade but for some reason I think that the salt stayed on the bottom so when I injected the turkey some parts were saltier than others. I used half the amount of salt on the dry rub recipe and it came out great. When frying the turkey it does turn very dark but that is normal. When you cut the turkey the inside is white and juicy. This recipe packs it with flavor. It is great. This is definitely gonna be a staple recipe for me!

As usual Emerill's done it again. This was the best tasting, juciest, moist turkey I've ever ate.
