how many would you need to fry a turkey?

It depends on the size of your turkey AND the size of your fryer. Mine is one that holds three gallons of oil. And I usually fry a SMALL (10-12#) turkey. The oil can be recycled three times. More than that & the oil gets to be dark & strong. Hope this hint helps.

i used two gallons and you can recycle the oil once your done for either half a year or i would say no more than 6 time when it starts turning brown switch out

i needed three gallons to fill the 30qt Brinkmann Fryer with enough oil to fry a 10b turkey.

I used approximately 2.5 gallons on a 14.5 lbs turkey. Every turkey will be different. You have to put the unwrapped turkey in the pot and fill with water until the turkey is completely covered. Remove the turkey and mark the water line on the pot. That is how much oil will be required to fry that specific turkey.

I love my fryer for 2 people. For a family of six, I would look at the three liter version of this fryer. This one heats quickly, so if you wanted to do small batches it would work well.

You need to use enough oil to ensure whatever you are frying is completely submerged in it.

It depends on what size of item or itemsYou're frying. Your best bet is to fill it withWater to judge the amt of oil you need toUse

Depending on what you are frying keep the level between max and min. A turkey will take up more space than a handful of french frys so the level will need to be adjusted accordingly. I've used it for frying pastries and it takes the 2.5 gallons.

The commonly found small turkey breast should be fine in the cooker, though I have never used my cooker for a Turkey breast. Actually you could fit two breast in the cooker at one time. Phil

This pot is HUGE!! 32 Quart. It barely fits on our larger burner (electric). It is taller than it is wide ... which helps. And it distributes the heat over the entire bottom quite well ... even the part that hangs over a little. I don't know how much oil you'll need but a 20+ lb. turkey would fit in it easily. I wouldn't mind having the recipe/directions for deep frying turkey in this pot. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this pot!

This was a gift. I am unsure whether you can fry with it. Contact the manufacture on that question

I use these in my Big Easy smoker grill which is the larger Big Easy. You might want to check if this item is also made for the turkey fryer model before ordering. The small fryer will cook up to 16 lb birds, the Smoker Grill unit will accept up to 25 lb birds.

Depending on the size, larger wings about 5 on each side for them to get nice and crispy, if you add to many they don't cook well.Smaller wings 8-10 each side

I have cooked pork, beef and venison roasts. I do inject them and cook on a slower temp instead of all the way with turkey. Best to not cook over a 13lb turkey just like you would do for frying in oil. Turkey comes out juicy and perfect. Takes about 2.5 hrs for a turkey. Always use a thermometer.

No. Just cook as many as you want. In fact, I cooked three yesterday and all went well.

According to the Hamilton Beach deep fryer manual, "fill fryer with not less than 10 to not more than 12 cups of oil to top indicator mark on the oil pot."

I make turkey bacon for my son all the time, I cook 55 seconds per slice up to five slices. I haven't made more than five slices at a time so I'm not sure if you run into problems if you start to get into longer times. Also that makes the bacon pretty crispy,just the way my son likes it.

No, definitely not. Two chicken breasts or four thighs would work, or an intact fryer, but not a whole cut up chicken
