      This made the absolute best Thanksgiving Turkey I have ever had!!!! I'm drooling thinking about it still. If you can even imagine (it's the Tuesday after Thanksgiving) and I'm considering making another one while all the stuff for deep frying is still out. The only thing I changed is I added more salt to the brine probably closer to 1-1 1/4 cups just because every other brine recipe I've made had so much more salt in it. This will be the only way I cook my whole turkey from now on. Thanks for an exceptional recipe!

      SUPERB for the HOLIDAY! Made this again and it is so fantastic! I increased the cayenne to 3 Tbsp this time. YUM! Was not too spicy at all. I had a 12 lb bird and it took 38 minutes to reach the correct temp. Allowed it to rest for about 20 minutes before slicing. The outside may look burnt but it SO is not! The skin forms a wonderful crusty 'seal' that keeps the meat so most and juicy you will be knocked out! hehehe in a good way! This BIRD ROCKS! 11/29/07 WOW! THIS is an AMAZING recipe! We fried a turkey using this recipe for a get together with friends and we had a BLAST. The turkey came out beautifully and was so moist, juicy and had an awesome flavor! When frying a turkey you want to be sure that it does not exceed 12 lbs as any larger and it will be too large to cook well inside and out- you will get an overdone outside and an underdone inside. This was EASY and perfect. The cayenne and brown sugar were wonderful flavors to blend with the turkey. The cayenne was not spicy at all in the finished product. We are chili heads so I think next time I will double the cayenne- personal preference only. This BIRD ROCKS! Thanks NCM for another fantabulous recipe!

      I recommend using peanut oil rather than vegetable. Fryer instructions usually tell you peanut oil is better because it has a higher spontaneous combustion temp, therefore you are less likely to have an oil fire. It is also healthier for you!
