For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

One of the special times of the year is the Thanksgiving through Christmas season. This special time of the year presented an opportunity for my father to exhibit his personal touch in preparing the main meal for our family and friends. This recipe is a set it and forget it type meal. By that, I mean you can get the meal started and never have to touch the meal again until your time limit has been reached. I can tell you that this is the best tasting turkey you will ever put in your mouth! It is moist, tender, and just great to eat. Give this a try and you will agree with all I have said!

one 8 to 12lb turkey,

one Season injector,

one 20 to 25 qt metal pot,

one gas or propane broiler,

three or four gallons of peanut oil,

salt and pepper,

one large platter

Obtain one turkey 8 to 12lb. Baste the outside of the turkey with you favorite seasons. Rub the outside of the turkey with sprinkled salt and pepper. Inject seasoning into the turkey breast ( we use Italian dressing). Tie the legs of the turkey together with a heavy string to be used to extract the turkey when finished. Place the 25 qt pot on the propane boiling grill. Fill the pot 3/4 full of peanut oil and heat to 350 degrees. When heated, place the turkey in the oil (please put turkey in oil slowly and do not let excess oil spill to the propane grill.

Remove access oil if necessary). Here is the secret...Cook the turkey in the oil for 3 and 1/2 minutes for each pound of the turkey. Example would be 28 minutes for a 8 pound turkey. The oil will boil around the turkey. Insure the entire turkey is submerged under the oil. Place a lid cover on the pot. Don't touch the turkey until time runs out. During the cooking time, sit back have a beer or soft drink and enjoy the moment. When time runs out, remove the turkey from the oil and place on platter. Carve , serve and enjoy the turkey. You won't believe just how great it tastes. Large chickens and hens can be prepared the same way. This recipe is a time honored Southern tradition. Gather your family around you and enjoy the day.
