I have fried turkeys before really enjoy them. This year my son is playing (American) Football for his High School on Thanksgiving Day morning. We have 14+ people going to the game. So I thought a quick way to server eveyone, since time will be later to start, is to fry a turkey. I have a 30qt propane fryer and my wife bought a 20lb turkey. I have been researching the times and rubs/injections etc... and all sites mention that a 20lb is too big. It would take app. 60-70 min. which potentially could leave areas of the turkey dry. Some sites say to cut the legs and wings off and fry first then fry the the rest when they are done.
Does anyone have any experience with larger birds and recipes to share? I was thinking injecting the bird would keep the turkey from drying to much(?).
