Hi! This is David for expertvillage.com. We are just finishing up our turkey. It’s been
in the oil exactly 42 minutes. We do about 3 minutes a pound. You can go a little bit
more it you like but it is pretty precise. What you want to do is get a platter ready.
Get some paper towels for the excess oil and then you can go get your bird out. Use pot
holders; these will be pretty warm. So you want to just pull out the bird here and make
sure you drain it properly and then bring it over to your tray. At this point you can
pull out the coat hangers. I always do my birds outside on a hard surface. Inside doesn’t
work very well only because the bird going into the oil is cold. It will actually make
the temperature of the oil go down and it is very hard to get that oil back up to temperature
quickly on a stove. It may actually overflow so I would always recommend doing it outdoors
on a hard surface.
