Cajun Fried Turkey

For decades, deep frying turkey has been a popular tradition throughout the South. In recent years, other areas of the country have jumped on the bandwagon.

According to a recent survey, 52% of U.S. households fry a turkey once a year, and 57% of these households have used a marinade to season their turkey. Cajun Injector Marinades have become America’s #1 injectable marinade, and turkey frying has become an instant hit for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

It takes only 45 minutes to fry a 12-pound bird at 350 degrees. The result is an incredibly succulent bird with flavorful meat, wonderfully crisp, with no greasy taste. According to the National Turkey Federation, a six-ounce serving of boneless Cajun Fried Turkey with skin, cooked in oil, has only 13.6 grams of fat and 274 calories. By comparison, according to the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, a six-ounce serving of boneless roasted turkey with skin has 11.9 grams of fat and 255 calories.

Cajun Injector offers a complete line of Injectable Marinade products as well as cooking equipment including electric and propane turkey fryers, cottonseed oil and dry seasoning products.
