TOM TERRIFIC TURKEY RUB

Mama Bird's Cupcake & Cake Info

I think it was my freshman year in college the 1st time I had a FRIED TURKEY and oh my goodness I fell in love. So much so that when I started hosting Thanksgiving I made the fried turkey part of MY families tradition. My aunt makes her own rub and I have to say it is tasty!

• 1 box of salt
• 2 oz (4 TB) of each of the following:
• chili powder
• crushed red pepper
• black pepper
• garlic powder
• Accent
• Mix all the above in a gallon ziploc bag & shake well. This will make enough to season 3

10-12lb turkeys.

olive oil

Wash turkey good & pat dry. Coat turkey with oil & rub seasoning into cavity & all over the entire bird. Place in plastic bag (I use a trash bag) marinate in fridge OVERNIGHT!!

Heat oil to 250-275. Cook 5 mins per pound.

Remove from oil & drain and as my Aunt always said "grab your baseball bat to keep your bird from being attacked and eaten immediately! DELICIOUS!!
