smoked&fried turkey????

[ravenclan]

has any one tried to smoke and then deep fry a turkey ?

No, but sounds pretty awesome. Now on my smoking bucket list!

Yep, several times. It is excellent. You can really mix it up by injecting/rubbing one breast spicy and one 'herby' if you want. Lots of options.

so do you smoke or deep fry first?

 

[6GRILLZNTN]

I would think you would smoke first, then deep fry to desired internal temp.

 

[kelbro]

Smoke first. One to one and a half hours, then fry to your temps.

I smoked chicken, and then Airfryer fried it.
It's great that way! Smoky with crispy skin.

Goes like this.

I’ve always wanted to but haven’t got to yet. I’d say it would be the best of both worlds

We do a couple a yr. brine them for 24 hrs, smoke for 2-3 hrs then into the oil it goes. It's a wonderful thing!!! Try you will not be disappointed.

I cold smoked one for 24 hours then fried it. It lost the smoke flavor.

I had the same experience as Adam.
Although I hot smoked mine to an IT of 140, then into the oil.
It lost almost all of the smoke flavor, however the skin was definitely crispy & the turkey was very juicy!

I was worried about this

Odd. Mine have always retained the smoke. Even able to smell it in the oil later. I used hickory though. Hickory is pretty strong.
