Deep-Fried Turkey

Ingredients
1 (10-pound) turkey
2 tablespoons House seasoning, recipe follows
2 tablespoons of your favorite dry rub
3 to 5 gallons peanut oil
Cooks Note: To measure the amount of oil needed to fry the turkey, place turkey in fryer, add water to top of turkey, remove the turkey and the water line will indicate how much oil will be needed to fry your turkey. Having too much oil can cause a fire. The pot should not be more than 3/4 full or the oil could overflow when the turkey is added.
Directions
Wash bird inside and out, and allow to drain. Rub turkey all over with House Seasoning. Coat turkey with dry rub. Allow the bird to sit until it reaches room temperature.
Heat peanut oil in a turkey fryer or a very, very large stockpot to 350 degrees F. Lower turkey into hot oil, very carefully, making sure it is fully submerged. Fry turkey for 3 minutes per pound plus 5 minutes per bird. Remove turkey from oil and drain on paper towels.
Serve with favorite Thanksgiving sides and salads.
House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

I started this blogspot for a project but I also love to cook deep-fried and fried foods. I very much enjay eating fried and deep-fried foods often,the feel, the smell, just the sight of fried foods makes me crave these delectable treats. My dad cooks tthe deep-fried and fried foods for me and my family, I always love coming home and having the house filled with the entoxicating aroma from the foods sissling in the deep fryer, just hearing the cryspy brown foods crackling as their cooling off never seems to fail watering my mouth. But I would like to be the one to cook them as well. The reason why I chose these recipes is because these are a few meals i like to eat and I would very much like to also cook these meals for my dad who is a ge=reat cook himself, and my family who also enjoys eating fried and deep-fried foods as well. Cooking is something everybody needs to know how to do and I will hopefuly become very good at itso I can cook for myself later in life. I will cook these recipes in the future for myself and others as well for an occasional thing. These recipes will be something I will cook and hopefuly really enjoy. I also really hope to encourage people to performe in the culonary arts and hopefully pich a certain dish they really enjoy eating and cook a veriety of recipes from that particular dish for any occasion.
