Turkey fryer recipes are an explosive element of the barbecue experience.

Having broken bits and pieces of shredded turkey in your mouth will definitely make you a better man or woman. Gas grills and barbeque smokers do an excellent job of crafting top turkey, but a great alternative to grilling and barbequing is turkey frying.

With pots of hot oil at your disposal and the proper accessories, these grilling recipes will come to fruition!

What is the necessary equipment to cook these turkey recipes, you ask? Primarily, you’ll need a 30 to 60 quart pot with a basket to put your turkey in, a steady stream of fuel coming from a burner or a gas tank, and various barbecue accessories like pot holders, spatulas, and condiments like marinades to blast flavor into your turkey. The fire extinguisher is also a staple of turkey fryers: the overheating of the oil can cause flare ups, something you usually don’t associate with gas grills and barbecue smokers.

Canola and sunflower oil are great for adding moisture to your turkey recipes – basically any oil that has a high smoking point. Popular examples of turkey recipes include the Cajun Deep Fried Turkey (originated from the fine state of Louisiana) and the Southern Deep Fried Turkey, all of which have their own unique ways of preparing. Grilling? Barbequing? Forget your Weber gas grill or natural gas grill and vie for your turkey fryer instead. You won’t regret the result!
