what temp do you fry a turkey

To fry a turkey, you should maintain the temperature of the oil at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and cook the turkey for about 3 1/2 minutes per pound. The internal temperature of the turkey should reach 165 degrees F, which is the safe temperature for consumption. Preheat the oil to 375° F and carefully lower the turkey into the fryer. It takes about 35 to 45 minutes to deep fry a turkey, averaging at three to four minutes per pound
