Ingredients
- 1 Turkey
- 16 oz Zatarain's Creole Butter
- 1 Tbsp Creole Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Onion Powder
- 1 Tbsp Black Pepper
- 1 Tbsp Salt
- Peanut Oil
Method
- Preheat the deep fryer to 375°F (190.6°C).In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, onion powder, creole seasoning and whisk until well combined. Prepare your creole butter marinade by filling your syringe.
- Inject the turkey with the marinade ensuring the syringe goes directly into the meat, not just under the skin. As you inject, gradually pull the syringe out, redirect and reposition it to evenly distribute the marinade. For optimum flavor, inject in multiple locations but try to keep the number of injection sites to a minimum so the marinade will stay in the turkey.
- Rub the Turkey with the dry rub.
- After the deep fryer has reached the desired temperature of 375°F (190.6°C), place the turkey in the basket that came with your deep fryer. Slowly and carefully lower the basket into the oil then close the lid. Allow your turkey to cook based on the time needed for its weight.
- Remove the turkey from the deep fryer once it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
