Deep frying a turkey is a delicious option! Generally, it takes about 3 to 4 minutes per pound to deep fry a turkey at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. So, for a 12-pound turkey, you'd look at around 36 to 48 minutes. It's important to ensure the oil completely covers the bird for even cooking. Have you tried deep frying turkey before, or is this your first time? What occasion are you planning this for?
