Butterball fully cooked smoked turkey

[drewbobo]

Okay so I bought a fully cooked smoked turkey. I would like to deep fry it and an open to suggestions. Some articles I read said to heat it up in the oven first to heat the inside to 150F then deep fry at 350 for 6 minutes. Does that sound about right? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi there and welcome!

I would simply let it defrost in the fridge until fully defrosted.
A raw bird in 350F oil cooks for a hair over 3 min a pound.
I have no idea if 6 minutes on an already cooked bird would do the trick but it might. I would simply get an instant read thermometer and after 6 minutes pull the bird up and temp it deep in the breast. If it is 160F in the breast then I would pull it and it should be done.

Now I'm not sure why you are going this route or how well it will work but I'm curious to see what you end up with so let us know how it all comes out and what you learned :)

I didn't even know you could buy a fully cooked smoked butterball. If its fully done you might be better heating it back up in the oven. If you are going for the crispy skin you can use the oven broiler. Will save you $35 in oil and some propane! If you do fry will be curious to see how it turns out.

I didn't know they had them either. But they do. But they state "Smoke flavor added" Makes you wonder...
