Pressure Frying Turkey with Henny Penny

By

Just in time for Thanksgiving! Learn how to pressure fry a whole turkey from the professional chefs at Henny Penny. Cooking a whole turkey in your pressure fryer is good way to expand your menu, increase holiday pre-orders, and bring the best tasting turkey to your customers this holiday season.

Pressure Fried Turkey

When pressure frying a whole turkey the following must be considered:
  • Best to use a turkey, thawed, in the 10-12 lb. weight range.
  • Topical seasoning should not be used.
  • Marinated turkeys can be used for enhanced flavor.
  • Remove giblets, neck, etc.
  • Turkey should be fully thawed.
  • Do not stuff the turkey!
  • Pressure fried turkey will not look like an oven baked bird, it will be splayed wide (for a more aesthetic look fasten the legs together).

The Henny Penny pressure frying procedures are as follows:

  1. Remove giblets, neck and any plastic leg fasteners or pop-up thermometers.
  2. You may want to marinade the turkey over night.
  3. Place (marinated) turkey breast down into preheated fryer for 5 minutes at 350°F (177°C).
  4. Cook for about 35 minutes at 280°F (138°C) [2 to 3 minutes per lb.].
  5. Blow pressure with 2 minutes remaining. Careful; the cavity of the turkey may be filled with hot shortening.
  6. Allow fried turkey to sit 10 minutes out of the fryer before carving.

The PFE-600, PFE-500, and PFE-561 pressure fryer models will accommodate a turkey up to about 8 lbs.

The high volume pressure fryer models, PFE-591, and the PFG-691 will accommodate a turkey up to about 20 pounds or two turkeys of 10-12 pounds each. If you plan on cooking a bone-in breast, use the 2 -3 minute per pound calculation.

  • Use 40% Less Oil: With just 30 pounds of oil per vat, you can prepare the same amount of food as with fryers that use nearly twice as much oil. Not only can you drastically reduce your costs, you can also maintain consistent food quality and flavor that keeps customers coming back time after time.
  • Filter On the Fly: With the SmartFilter Express™ integrated filtration system, you can start filtering oil “on the fly” with one single action — and with Henny Penny’s exclusive Filter Beacon™, you’ll know exactly when the time is right.

Now you can save time and ensure consistent, better tasting food by maintaining optimal oil levels every day.
