As much as I love to experiment with new recipes for almost any occasion, I love this Maple and Bacon Roasted Turkey so much that I can’t imagine not having it each year on Thanksgiving. After that effort which always entails a full day of cooking, I make a point of making Christmas easier. I have no intention of spending the entire day in the kitchen preparing a big meal. We’re fine with a more relaxed day and I’ve often prepared this Honey Roasted Lamb Salad or just a simple ham for our Christmas ‘feast.’
But this year, I wanted something different for Christmas so thought I would do a ‘trial’ and fry a turkey. It was almost too easy; it was most definitely delish! I had received this Masterbuilt Indoor Turkey Fryer from the folks at Masterbuilt and I was anxious to try it out. Yes, I said indoor. My only previous experience with fried turkey was several years ago when my family went with friends to visit their relatives that lived near Pikes Peak. They had a propane fryer and it was positioned far from the house at the end of a driveway to avoid the dreaded incidence of ‘burning the house down.’ Knowing that each year several people lose their homes when deciding to fry turkey I naturally had some anxiety. There was no need; this unit has everything contained inside an electric model that eliminates the worry about flames meeting oil and house meeting doom.
The optimum size for a turkey for this unit is about 12 pounds. I was lucky to score a couple of fresh turkeys this year and since I did not have to wait days for them to thaw, I decided to brine the turkey the night before I planned to fry it. I came up with my own take using these two brines from Jenn Cuisine and The Pioneer Woman; mine was a combination of all apple cider per Jenn and some additional herbs and spices ala Ree. I had never brined a turkey before but was game to try and must say the combination of brining and frying was easy and the results were fabulous.
I used a small cooler for the overnight brining since my fridge does not have the room. Making sure it was thoroughly clean, I dumped several inches of ice in the bottom of the cooler followed by the turkey and then more ice to cover. I poured the cooled brine on top of the ice and put the cooler in the garage. It was perfect; that there was still some ice the next morning assured me it has stayed cool enough and a simple rinse and dry and it was ready to go.
The frying part? Easy beyond belief. I used peanut oil for the fryer; it’s the one recommended by Masterbuilt. Once the oil was hot, the turkey is immersed in it and voila…a finished turkey in 44 minutes. Let me repeat that. FORTY-FOUR MINUTES!!! Though it was juicy and succulent, I decided to make a glaze that John McLemore, the owner of Masterbuilt, includes in his book, ‘Dadgum That’s Good‘ with recipes for not just fried turkey but barbecue, smoking, grilling, boiling and steaming. It was not your standard Thanksgiving seasonings and I liked that; I don’t like to replicate the flavors from one holiday to the next. The glaze with roasted pecans in honey was SO good and yes, true to form I might have put a nip of bourbon in there. I do have a reputation to keep you know and it did seem perfect for a Christmas turkey. Fried and boozy…oh yes! I’ll be serving it with some Cosmopolitan Cranberry Sauce and simple baked sweet potatoes seasoned with Sage and Caramelized Shallots Compound Butter. Easy and yum it is!
See that pretty serving platter? My Grandma Lizette Bathe gave that to me many, many years ago. She was in her 90′s and starting to show signs of Alzheimer’s and I think she must have known that plans were in the works to move her into a care facility. When we were kids, my Grandma and Grandpa lived about 45 minutes from us so we just saw them irregularly. When I was 22 I moved into a small single bedroom home that was just minutes from her (my Grandfather died many years before she did) and that turned out to be the best move ever. I would visit her every Sunday afternoon and sometimes take her out to dinner during the week too. My Grandma was then and remains for me today the epitome of sweetness; I never heard her lose her temper and she was so very special to me. No matter the time of day, when I walked in her front door it was always the same question, ‘Are you hungry Barbie?’ And she always had something good to eat in her fridge! She insisted that I take this serving platter and a matching gravy boat because she wanted to make sure I had something of hers. I’m so glad she did.

I had never tried fried turkey until I met my wife and was invited to her house for Thanksgiving (back in the 90′s). Her father was frying a turkey using the propane open flame method. I was worried the whole time about not hurting anyone’s feelings when I bit into a soggy oily mess of bird. What a shock. Long story short, fried turkey is all I eat now and the thought of getting to cook one indoors…thanks ya’ll!
I too have cooked the turkey with the bag of giblets still inside. It’s not funny until years later.
Another Thanksgiving, a little cousin came for dinner. Outspoken, as most 4 year olds are, he poked my Dad’s potbelly and said: “You look like you ate the whole turkey!”
First time I bought a turkey, I didn’t realize it needed to thaw for DAYS, so it wasn’t ready in time for Thanksgiving. We just had it a couple days later. Was an informal thanksgiving, so not a big deal. Still funny to think about though!

One year while baking a turkey I drop a pot holder in the oven and it caught fire. Till this day we always double check where all the pot holders are. :)

My family always had a deep fried turkey along with a traditional turkey at both thanksgiving and Christmas. I have an outdoor fryer, but it is hard to do in New England in the winter. My wife (who grew up in California) generously agreed to fry a turkey for friends in January. I had to put a stop to that! Who is going to stand out there and watch while standing in a foot of snow? If I had an indoor fryer I could fulfill her obligation.

My first turkey ever, new husband, new mother-in-law ….I thought i had everything about as perfect as I could make it ….until DH started carving the turkey and there was the entire bag of giblets cooked neatly in the cavity. :)
I thought the other blade for an electric knife was a back-up….LOL
My first Thanksgiving being married was a difficult. I had no idea how to make the turkey and it ended up being pink inside and we just went to his moms for thanksgiving. I made a turkey for Christmas and learned to leave the turkey in there for a few more hours and not to always go by what the time says cause my oven at that time wasn’t the best. That Christmas turkey turned out great and never had a problem with turkeys after that.
There are no funny turkey stories. In fact, I have to say that most Thanksgiving birds have been pretty consistent over the years, although looking back, I suppose my mom and grandmother pretty much did them in after starting the roasting at 4 am for a 3 pm dinner!

How about a live turkey story? I was by the huge turkey corral at the farm I work with when I noticed one of the birds had gotten through the fence. It’s rare, but it happens. The bird wasn’t wandering off, it was trying to get back inside with the other 99 turkeys, but it couldn’t figure out how. Feeling bad for this poor, lone turkey I tried to guide him back through the gate. Needless to say, guiding a turkey is pretty fruitless. I did manage to get it inside the corral after about 15 minutes though!

Your grandmother’s platter is so pretty. I’m loving the pecan glaze. I’ve never had a deep fried turkey before and yours looks moist and wonderful.:)

This was my first year hosting Thanksgiving for my family and I was so nervous! I decided to get a fresh organic turkey through my CSA and chose a simple herb and butter preparation. It was delicious and a ton of fun cooking for everyone. I would love to serve up a fried turkey next year!
I’m subscribed to your email updates.
My most memorable turkey story occurred about 6 years ago. I was hosting T-day for my family – parents, grandmother, sister’s family. Living in the midwest, an ice storm knocked out power to our kitchen electrics mid-cooking. My husband was on staff at church and so I carefully drove the icy streets to borrow one of the church’s many counter-top roasters (on hand for potlucks). I actually grabbed a few, not being sure if they actually functioned. The turkey finished cooking in the roaster and was still quite tasty. Dinner just took a couple extra hours longer before all the food was ready!

I’ve never deep fried a turkey, but I’ve heard they’re amazing! And with special touches like bourbon and pecans, oh my!
I have only once in my life roasted an entire turkey myself, since I always go somewhere for Thanksgiving. BUT, I love turkey and have been thinking about roasting one so I can freeze the meat for later (something my mom always did). This fryer would be perfect :-) I wish I had a funny turkey story to tell, but, alas, I do not!
EA-The Spicy RD Most Recent Post: December Fitness Challenge Check-In and a Delicious Gluten-Free Cookie Giveaway
Sixteen years ago when I first moved into this home, I had my Aunt and Uncle (who had hosted Thanksgiving in New Jersey my entire childhood) visit me and stay for Thanksgiving. My Aunt was known for setting a perfect table and having each entree served perfectly if you know what I mean. I was using a new oven, first time I roasted a Turkey in my new “old” home. Little did know, the oven temperature stat was way off. We had gone out to shop and the Turkey was set to be done (with my husband at home basting) when we returned. I took the Turkey out, started to trim and blood started to ooze out. Everyone was starving, complete disaster. Needless to say, I have completely redone my kitchen and outfitted with two new ovens–but my Aunt has never returned!
I had company traveling from OK to TX where I lived at the time. I got up early to put the turkey in the oven. By mid day when the turkey was supposed to be done, it was bleeding red when I cut into it. I had misread the label, thinking I had bought a smaller weight turkey and was cooking it by the suggested temp for the required time for that weight. That was when my vision just started going. I dug the label out of the trash and sure enough, I had that big thing that really needed a couple more hours to complete roasting, it was 21 lbs. We put it back in the oven, ate what was cooked. Then we took off to the beach in Galveston. That was 1971.

After living in the South for several years, when we moved here, I missed the deep fried turkeys that they fixed there. I bought the deep fryer created for outside and set it up to fry up our Thanksgiving turkey several years ago. I thought I had done everything right…measuring with water for the amount of peanut oil to put in it, etc.
My husband and brother were in charge of frying it. First thing is they dropped it in too fast and grease splattered all over my deck! I’m so lucky that they didn’t create a fire. And although the turkey turned out fine, because of the mess and clean-up afterwards, it was the last time the fryer was ever used. I now watch with amusement as Alton Brown is pictured with some wooden trapeze and pulley mechanism to use one of those fryers. This Masterbuilt one looks so much simpler to use!!! Plus there is the advantage that I could be in charge of it this time if I were to win this. Bourbon and pecans…can’t get much more Southern than that! Now you have me longing for another deep fried turkey this year.
When I was young my parents used to shop weekly at an urban market, for everything we ate. A stop at the butcher for meat, the bakery, the dairy, a banana store, the fish monger, and then to the poultry place where the owner would take you out in the back to select your bird, slaughter it, pluck it, singe it and wrap it in newspaper. When we got home my Dad would make a place to work on the kitchen counter and proceed to clean the still-warm bird. He was a great cook and would use almost every part for soup, stew, stuffing. My sister, brother and I were fascinated by this process.
When I got married, my first adventure with a turkey for roasting took place at the local supermarket where I proudly selected a large bird wrapped in plastic and took it home. As I had seen my Dad do it, I spread out a lot of newspaper, rolled up my sleeves, and —– I was robbed!!! Just as I was about to march back to the supermarket with my deprived bird, my Mother called and I heatedly explained I had purchased an “inferior” bird, that the supermarket had stolen all the parts. When Mom finished laughing hysterically, she informed me, “Only your father brings home chickens and turkeys to clean these days — the rest of the world buys them that way.”
I don’t know if I was more disappointed or relieved that I didn’t have to do that job.
(My Dad would never purchase ground meat either — he did it himself.)
Just enjoyed someone else’s fried turkey for Thanksgiving and now I am craving a fryer!
Love your e-mail!

I remember the first time I had a fried turkey. It was at the Telluride Wine Festival. I was remarking that it was the juiciest turkey I had ever eaten…then the chef told me it was fried. I had never heard of it before (that was about 20 years ago) every since I’ve wanted to try it but have been afraid of those topsy turvy kettles you see sold this time of year. The Masterbuilt fryer loos so much more stable. So with that said, I’d like to be the giveaway winner. I already subscribe to your emails:) And love them too:):)

I turkey story focuses on stuffing. Last year I had a huge fight with M because he cooked stuffing IN the bird. In my Dominican crazy mind, I thought this was the most dangerous thing to do (rumor mill stories) and I refused to eat it. I know learned that when correctly cooked, stuffing inside the bird is tasty.

Lana @ Never Enough Thyme Most Recent Post: Quick and Easy Fudge
The only somewhat funny story I have about turkey is the time that I was making Thanksgiving dinner for all my husband’s family. Hubby was very sweetly helping me get everything going in the kitchen and offered to get the turkey ready for roasting. I gave him very explicit instructions which he assured me he’d followed. However, when I started to carve the turkey … you know what I’m going to say, don’t you? … guess what surprised me on the inside. Yep. There it was – the “bag of goo.” I very discreetly and swiftly pulled that mess out and got it into the trash before anyone was the wiser. Not even hubby ever knew :-)
Lana @ Never Enough Thyme Most Recent Post: Quick and Easy Fudge
one thanksgiving i was getting everything going as far as cooking goes the night before. i had everything down pat. funny thing thought the cat decided i shouldn’t be cooking that and jumped up to the counter grabbed a hold of the leg a dragged the turkey outside through the pet hole. i wanted to kill that cat, but at the same time i couldn’t help but laugh because of the way it was done. needless to say i had to come up with something different. didn’t see that cat for a week. oh well. at least she had a good meal.
Your turkey looks amazing!
As for my story, I’ll never forget. I was hosting both families at my house for Thanksgiving. I was cooking the night before as I usually do and toasting the breadcrumbs in the oven. But as the night went out, the crumbs seemed to not be toasting. My husband and I investigated and discovered the oven had stopped working. The night before Thanksgiving! Luckily we were able to get a guy out the next day to fix my oven and Thanksgiving went off without a hitch. But for about 12 hours, I was trying to figure out where in the world I would be able to roast my turkey. Otherwise we’d be having Chinese for dinner.

Would LOVE this turkey fryer. I imagine there would be an immediate spike in poultry sales coming from this house! Have heard of so many converts! Once you fry….
My turkey horror story occurred about 4 years ago when I was cooking a ginourmous turkey for family and friends. Now, I’ve cooked many turkeys in my life (written a few too) but this was the turkey that would not die. No matter hat I did it just would not cook through. It hadn’t been frozen, it had rested in the fridge for several days before cooking but it just would not budge from nearly raw no matter how many hours I roasted it. I panicked. My brother in law (a Gulf War vet) finally solved the problem for me with army ingenuity by quietly coming into the kitchen hacking the turkey up (it was super big) and microwaving it. We never told anyone. I have not cooked a turkey since then as they frighten me too much and I am traumatized. Perhaps this device of a turkey fryer would break through my psychological block and cure me. I want this device. Do I have to beg?

My old oven was horrible and was off by 70 degrees and then would fluctuate. It took for ever for me to roast a turkey as in 2 extra hours and it came out dry. I was happy the day that oven died
Oh my god you are talking all sorts of wonderful in this recipe. Turkey…fried…butter….bourbon?! I would love to see this on my Xmas table!! And in 44 minutes?! What more could you want. I am glad you have your fryer under control, that can always be a bit nerve wracking I’m sure.
