A turkey fryer possesses the special ability to cook out delectable and appetizing turkey at a breathtaking pace.

Fryers in themselves are similar to the Brinkmann Gas Grill King Deluxe, a barbequing specimen capable of feeding an entire school cafeteria. Fryers are what you see churning out millions of McDonalds french fries (cooked in lard, the worst grilling oil imaginable) and cafeteria food nationwide. Unlike barbeque smokers and gas grills, which need ample time for food to cook, a fryer can barbecue a whole 15 pound turkey within an hour. Unbelievable, if you ask me!

Unlike grilling recipes, a fryer recipes can cook your 15 pound turkey  within an hour!

The first step in deciding on a fryer for your turkey is considering the model. You have countertop models that provide for compact turkey cooking, like portable charcoal grills – or floor models, capable of handling pounds and pounds of barbeque turkey. The heating ability of your fryer must be nothing short of excellent to produce those mouth watering bbq recipes. When dumping frozen turkey, it could cause a drop off in heat. Quality fryers will not have such a drop off and churn out heat at a high BTU rating to compensate. Make sure your barbequing device is constructed of stainless steel, as it is the easiest to clean after grilling. Your barbecue will never be so convenient and easy to maintain.

Quality fryers for your turkey may have extra accessories like fat filters and thermostats. Always check to see that your turkey’s temperature hovers at around 390 when removing from the fryer. Unlike barbecue smokers and barbeque grills, your full-sized turkey can be fully cooked in an hour. Become a natural with the fryer and become acquainted with maintenance requirements and operating instructions. Soon, with your new found barbequing and grilling savvy and know-how, you will be a turkey bbq recipes veteran in no time.
