How to Fry a Turkey, in Photos

Here's what you'll need to fry a turkey:

• Classic propane turkey fryer
• Propane tank
• Refined peanut oil, for frying
• 1-2 (or more) 15-pound turkey(s)

Here's the prep:

1. Twenty-four hours before frying the turkey, brine the bird in a saltwater solution. Store in the refrigerator or with plenty of ice to keep the turkey cold for a full 24 hours. To fancy up the brine, add brown sugar, orange, and rosemary to the saltwater solution.
2. Prior to frying, pat the turkey completely dry. Don't miss the inside cavity. If there is any moisture on the bird, the turkey will splatter once it hits the oil.
3. Place turkey, legs up, in the fry basket.
