30 mins prepServes 10
A delicious smoke-fried turkey recipe, perfect for Thanksgiving, involving brining, smoking, and then deep frying to achieve a crispy skin and juicy interior.
1. Brine the turkey overnight using @kosmosq turkey brine.
2. Season the brined turkey with Dirty Bird seasoning.
3. Smoke the turkey at 250°F (121°C) until its internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C). This should take approximately 2 hours.
4. While the turkey is smoking, start heating peanut oil in a fryer to 350°F (177°C). This can take about 30 minutes.
5. Once the turkey reaches 125°F internal temperature, transfer it to the hot peanut oil and fry it at 350°F (177°C) until its internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C). This should take about 25 minutes.
6. Let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before carving and serving.
