Ingredients

• ✓ turkey
• peanut oil
• creole seasoning
• onion

Instructions

1. 1 Fill a turkey fryer or large stockpot with enough oil to fry turkey, leaving room for oil to rise when turkey is added. Heat oil to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Layer a large platter with clean paper bags.
2. 2 Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Rub seasoning inside cavity and outer surfaces. Make sure hole at the neck is open at least 2 inches so oil can flow freely into cavity.
3. 3 Turn off heat source. Place onion into the drain basket followed by turkey, neck-end first. Slowly lower the basket into the fryer until turkey is completely submerged in oil. Turn on the heat source and cook, maintaining oil temperature at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until no longer pink at bone and juices run clear, about 45 minutes, or 3 1/2 minutes per pound.
4. 4 Carefully remove the basket from the fryer and drain turkey. An instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh, near bone, should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), but no more than 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Transfer turkey to the prepared platter to finish draining, 10 to 15 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ turkey
• kosher salt
• black pepper
• stuffing
• heavy cream

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2. 2 Lay deboned turkey, skin-side down, on the cutting board and even out the meat as much as possible. Slice through the thicker areas of breast meat as needed and rearrange over thinner parts to create an even thickness of meat all over.
3. 3 Season turkey with salt and black pepper. Press stuffing all over the surface of the meat.
4. 4 Fold long edges of the turkey around stuffing into the center of the bird and carefully turn turkey seam-side down. Tie the leg-end of the turkey with kitchen twine to cinch the turkey together. Repeat ties at 2-inch intervals along the length of the turkey, ending with a single tie along the length of the turkey. Season with salt and transfer turkey to a large roasting pan.
5. 5 Roast turkey in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and continue to roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey reads 155 degrees F (68 degrees C), about 1 1/2 hours.
6. 6 Remove from the oven and transfer turkey to a platter. Remove and discard twine. Let rest until internal temperature increases to 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
7. 7 While the turkey is resting, place the roasting pan over medium-high heat and stir cream into the pan drippings. Cook and stir until sauce thickens and reduces, 3 to 7 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh sieve into a gravy boat or bowl.
8. 8 Slice turkey crosswise and top slices with gravy.

Instructions

1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
2. 2 Pat turkey dry with paper towels. Season inside and outside of turkey with kosher salt, focusing on breast and thighs. Place turkey, breast-side up, in the roasting pan and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate turkey for about 2 days.
3. 3 Flip turkey breast-side down, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 1 more day.
4. 4 Remove plastic wrap and place turkey on a rack over a baking sheet the night before you plan to roast. Allow turkey to air-dry in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours. This step helps the skin crisp beautifully during roasting.

6. 6 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place turkey, breast-side down, in a roasting pan.
7. 7 Roast in the preheated oven until skin is golden, about 30 minutes. Remove turkey from oven and flip to breast-side up. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C); continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 2 hours.
8. 8 Transfer turkey to a large platter and loosely tent with aluminum foil; allow turkey to rest about 30 minutes before carving.
