Description
This recipe came from a southern gal who obviously knows her food. She wrote on the recipe "the basis for a good fried turkey is the rub." i must say i agree with her on this one, this is the only way we cook our turkey now. The rub and injection are a great combination–i guarantee a moist, flavorful bird. Cooking times are estimated based on the size of your bird.
