Turkey is generally blah by not if it's deep fried. I've experimented over the years and there's only one way I cook it now. Wash the bird and dry throughly. I melt 2 sticks of butter with a full bottle of Tabasco stirred in. Inject the bird everywhere. Bring the peanut oil (no other oil tastes right) to 400°, slowly slip the bird in and maintain 350° for 3.5 minutes per pound. The Tabasco loses most of its heat but adds a great flavor and everyone says it's the best tasting and moistest turkey ever
