1 turkey
Salt
Ground cayenne pepper
Peanut oil, enough to cover the turkey
Lg. pot big enough to accommodate turkey & oil

Turkey should be clean and dry, inside and out. Using shaker, cover carcass inside and out with salt. Shake on pepper in same manner. Peanut oil should be in a large pot and heated to 325-350 degrees. Pot should be large enough for turkey to fit and oil must cover bird completely.

Be careful that the pot is large enough that the oil doesn't overflow. Put bird in the pot slowly being careful not to splash hot oil. Fry about 4 minutes to the pound. Small birds cook more quickly, large birds take longer. Test for doneness at the thigh joint.
