Directions
Mix all ingredients except turkey, pot and peanut oil to make a marinade.
Let stand overnight in refrigerator. Use meat injecting needle to inject all through turkey.
Put turkey and marinade in a large plastic bag and keep in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days.
Remove in time to bring to room temp before cooking.
Heat oil in a 40 to 60 quart pot to 325 degrees (Use candy thermometer).
Immerse turkey completely and cook for 4 minutes per pound.
Place a pie tin with holes in the bottom in the bottom of the deep fryer to prevent sticking.
This is supposed to be a red-hot favorite. Try one.
