2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 to 5 gallons peanut oilRinse and dry turkey. Remove neck and giblet bag from small cavity in front and the large body cavity. Generously season inside cavity with salt and pepper. Use as much cayenne pepper as taste buds will allow. Heat oil in cooking pot large enough to submerse turkey in hot oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees F to 375 degrees F. When oil is hot, using a sling of strong twine or a lifter, lower turkey into hot oil. Cook about 5 minutes per pound or until meat thermometer inserted in thickest part of thigh reaches 180 degrees F.Makes 10 to 12 servings.
