Deep-frying makes the turkey crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside (even the white meat).
It also leaves the heat outside! You can deep-fry the turkey in either peanut or vegetable oil, your choice.
This recipe calls for a lot of bay leaves. It’s actually about 1/3 cup, so if you have crushed bay leaves you can use those.
The real secret to fried turkey is to get a good coating of the rub on the surface of the turkey before it hits the oil.
