Why Peanut Oil?
Many Cajun chefs recommend peanut oil for frying turkeys. “LouAna® Peanut Oil offers the best flavor for fried turkey, and it doesn’t deteriorate as quickly as other oils,” says Chef Mould. “That allows you to get multiple uses out of each batch, saving you money.” He adds, “Peanut oil also sears the outside of the turkey quickly. That seals in the flavor of the marinade.” Injecting Marinade Be sure to thaw the turkey according to package instructions and remove the giblets and neck from the interior of the turkey. Place the turkey in a pan. Following the directions, load LouAna® Fat Free Cajun Marinade into the accompanying meat injector. Inject the marinade into the turkey breast, thighs and legs. You should inject one ounce of marinade for every pound of turkey. Frying The Turkey Right before you’re ready to fry, use paper towels to pat the turkey dry inside and out. Pour three gallons of LouAna® Peanut Oil into the pot. Now place the pot on the propane cooker and heat the oil to 35
