Just dropped a 10lb turkey breast in the deep fryer, garlic butter injection with an assortment of spices for a dry rub

So I’ve been considering doing this for awhile. Tips on doing a whole bird? I got a 25 bird in the freezer and trying to decide to do this or smoke it.

Either way it seems pretty large for either. I have a burner and a large stock pot but it might not be big enough for a 25 lb’er. How do you know how much oil to put in for a big bird?

If you smoke it spatchcock it, might want to thaw first.

That’s a big bird. What I do is put the bird in the pot fill it with water where it just barely covers the bird, then remove the bird and then you can mark where the water settles and you have your oil line. Of course you have to completely thaw the bird. You could remove legs and wings to make smaller as well and just do the breast.
 
Ok thanks guys. Ya not sure what to do with this thing yet. It was given to us by some friends and then a day later they have us a ham about the same damn size. Needless to say the freezer is full lol
 
I’ve often wanted to try a kamodo or a bge. Then I show the wife the costs of such things and it fizzles out. We are on the 7th or 8th year of our broil king and I know it needs new burners so I may have to try again.

I’ll probably get new grates this year for the smoker too. I have no idea how old that one is, maybe 10 years now?

The only way our KJ happened was due to Christmas and the need to replace a 12 grill.
