This was my first turkey in the Big Easy SRG. Easy and VERY tasty!

After cleaning the turkey and drying him off, I rubbed him down with peanut oil. I then put salt and pepper on. I put him in the basket breast up.

Cooked on high with the top down until internal temperature was at 130°. Opened the lid and cooked until internal temperature was 165°. Turned Big Easy off and closed the lid. Let rest for 15 minutes. Cooking time comes out to approximately 10 minutes per pound.

This did taste like a deep fried turkey. It was very moist and full of flavor!

Thoughts:

Next time I want to research injections. Maybe some butter. Also need to raise the turkey by using the Tommy Ring or putting shelves in the bottom of the basket.
