do you need to brine a turkey you will deep fry

[lisacsco]

I have not seen this addressed yet and wanted to know. I am going to deep fry one and oven bake another (for a friend to take home). I was only going to brine the oven baked one, but can brine them both if you can deep fry with a brined turkey.

Hey Lisa, I haven't brined and deep fried, but injecting and deep fry works great,

As long as the bird is dry, what would it hurt?

I was thinking the same thing Terry

Yes.....

You can brine both... You can eat both too.... Or brine both cook both and send one to me...

Just make sure there is no extra moisture left before you fry it. I just inject mine personally. As long as the oil is at 350, it will put a fast fry on it and trap the juices inside.

Good question Lisa... I've been wondering that myself. I usually just inject mine, but it sounds like brining is also an option. Thanks y'all!
