Take whole turkey place in deep fryer fill with water remove turkey.
Mark the water line.
Spill out water and dry careful not to remove marked line.
Be sure to remove giblet sack and neck from inside.
If the turkey has its legs bound together with plastic, remove the plastic.
Rinse turkey inside and out. Pat dry with paper towels.
Rub the dry mixture inside and outside of the turkey.
Inject turkey all around with Creole butter.
Wrap in foil and let it sit overnight (or at least 2 hours).
Fill to line with peanut oil.
Heat oil to 340-350. wait till temp is steady.
Place the turkey breast side down in lowering slowly into oil.
CAUTION of splattering oil.
Fry turkey 3-4 minutes per pound.
Use a meat thermometer in the thigh and when it reads 180 degrees it’s done.
Remove from hot oil and drain on paper towels.
Let turkey stand for 15 to 20 minutes.
Carve and serve.

If I make one it wont make it to the post office...
I can barely get it to the table.

To be honest P, he just moved again, but still in Georgia - Evil, Jim, Joan??? where did he move to. I know he just moved about a week ago, and I have no idea where! :(
 
I do believe he said Lavonia - not sure though! But I'm looking forward to that Turkey on my trip down there! Minus the cajun injection!!

Ooooooo dat be da best paw't, ma!!!!!
 
Well, I wrote down Lavonia - but could be mistaken. He made one for me when he was in SC minus the injection - and it was to die for! I don't like any of those cajun spices - so his work would have gone to naught!

I don't care for the cajun food much myself if that's what you mean.
I do like some of the spices, but I don't think I'd like it on a Turkey myself.*****Might be okay on pigs' feet!!!! :rotflmao:
