Your LoCo Crazy Good
Turkey Fryer is intended for
a maximum turkey size of
20
pounds (9 kg)
.
Thoroughly defrost your
frozen turkey to 35ºF-40ºF (1.6ºC 4.4ºC).
If you
prefer to thaw your turkey in your refrigerator, allow
approximately 24 hours for every 4 pounds (1.8
kg). That’s approximately 120 hours of refrigerated
thawing time for a 20 pound (9 kg) turkey.
Be sure to remove the neck and giblet bag from the
turkey’s inner cavity, as well as the turkey’s pop-up
cooking indicator and leg ties.
1. Thoroughly rinse your turkey with warm water or
soak it in warm water up to 30 minutes to make
sure there is no ice remaining in cavities.
2. Completely dry the outer surfaces and inside
cavities of the turkey with paper towels. Make
sure no ice remains inside.
3. Inject marinade into your turkey’s breast, wings,
thighs and legs, then add seasoning to the
inside and outside.
We
recommend
LoCo Cookers’ Creole
Seasoning Kit
which includes Injectable
Marinade and Dry Rub. (Sold separately)
Follow packaging instructions to determine the
appropriate amount of seasoning.
PREPARE YOUR TURKEY
FRY YOUR TURKEY!
Check once more for any remaining water or ice in
the turkey.
1. Make sure that your fryer is on a stable, level
and heat-resistant surface out of reach of
children.
2. Fill the cooking pot with oil to the MAX
fi
ll line.
Never fry with the oil level below the MIN
fi
ll
line.
We
recommend
LoCo Cookers’ Peanut Oil
Blend
for it’s great
fl
avor and high smoke
point. However, any cooking oil may be used.
3. Place the lid on the pot and start your fryer to
begin heating the oil as indicated in the “Touch-
Screen Controls” section.
4. While the oil is heating, calculate the cooking
time for your turkey.
• The recommended cooking time is 3.5-4
minutes per pound (0.45 kg).
• A 20-pound (9 kg) turkey should cook in
approximately 70-80 minutes.
5. Once your fryer has alerted you that it has
reached frying temperature, place your turkey
in the basket breast side up.
6. Remove the lid from the pot. Wear protective
gloves or mitts and
very slowly
lower the
basket into the pot using the lifting hook.
Replace the lid on the pot.
7. After cooking time has elapsed, remove the
basket from the cooking pot with the lifting
hook and use the Twist & Drain
TM
feature to
allow excess oil to drain back into the pot.
8. Use a meat thermometer to check the turkey
breast. The safe temperature is
165ºF-170ºF
(74ºC-77ºC)
. Additional frying time may be
required if the turkey has not yet reached the
safe internal temperature.
9. Press
the
Pour
button to begin the oil cool-
down process as indicated in the “Touch-
Screen Controls” section.
10. Let your turkey rest in the basket for 10
minutes before carving and serving.
