  2. Rub the turkey generously with this spicy butter mix, making sure to get under the skin.
  3. Preheat your Big Easy fryer.
  4. Cook for 8–10 minutes per pound until golden and crisp.

Notes

The outside becomes a smoky, flavorful crust while the inside stays unbelievably juicy. Perfect for game nights or backyard cookouts.
