1. Deep Fried Turkey How to Deep Fry a Turkey

2. Wild Turkey Wild turkeys are thinner than turkeys that are raised on farms. Males are four feet long, including their tails. Females are three feet long.

3. Hot Oil in Pot To deep fry a turkey, you need a large pot filled with hot oil. Hot oil is very dangerous, so keep children and pets away from the oil. Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

4. Checking the Turkey Lower the turkey slowly into the boiling oil. Wear heavy gloves to protect your hands. It’s a good idea to wear an apron and a long-sleeve shirt, too.

5. Removing the Turkey When the turkey is finished, slowly lift it out of the pot using the poultry lifter. A poultry lifter is a metal rod formed into a loop. The cavity of the turkey is placed through the loop.

6. Ready to Eat After you take the turkey out of the pot, put it on a platter to let it drain and cool before you slice it. Delicious!
