To deep fry a turkey, you need to thoroughly dry and remove the insides of a completely thawed turkey. Fill a pan with peanut oil to the level previously marked when filled with water to submerge the turkey. Heat the oil to 375°F then carefully lower the turkey into the hot oil. Maintain the oil's temperature at 350°F while frying the turkey for 4 minutes per pound until the internal temperature reaches 175°F. After letting the turkey rest, cut and serve the fried turkey, enjoying the results of the process.
