WILL THE M7P 7- IN-1 DEEP FRY A TURKEY?

You might be able to quarter or halve a turkey and cook it in sections. But a whole one would probably not be a good idea, and the manual expressly says not to.

This grill/smoker was not designed to deep fry a turkey. If you have a large/deep pot, you could try....But, not sure if you can keep it hot enough for cooking turkey completely. I've never tried to deep fry a turkey. The pots provided for deep frying with this grill/smoker are too small. They would probably work for fried fish or potatoes but not a turkey. Good Luck...

Just my opinion. I would not attempt it. It says in the description "fry" but it lacks a temp shut off (at least my model does) that would prevent overheating the oil. The "fry" basket and pot are shallow, about 1/4 the size needed for a turkey. If you look at a decent turkey fryer, there seems to be more guarding around the burner and the hose to the propane tank appears longer. Nope, not me. Maybe shrimp, fish or fries, but not a turkey. Be safe. Please, buy a recent unit with updated safety features that is designed for frying a turkey. Good luck. BTW, this is a heck of a nice GRILL. Just my opinion. I would not attempt it.

No, in the instruction manual it says not to but it can be used for deep frying pieces of chicken or fish or the like.

We haven't used it to fry a turkey yet but will be next Saturday, don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

Absolutely! Anything you fry in it, you have to apply your own judgment by checking in on the status from time to time. I fry everything with it, from fish to chicken, to turkey. Make sure you fry in the garage with the door open or outside besides the building. The smell is not fully filtered out.

Yes, but check your fryer quarts and bird size. A lot of oil. I use mine for wok and cast iron cooking. I hope this answer helps.

Not sure which one you have but I have a TF200 series and I have fried a 15 lb turkey with no problem. It did not touch the sides of the basket.

I bought this for my daughter and son-in-law and I know they fry things, including fish, in it. I'm not sure what you mean by 'deep frying'. I don't think it's deep enough to fry something that you'd want to submerge in oil. I know they love this fry pan.

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!

Yes, anything you cook in a deep fryer can be cooked in this. That is what I have found.

Sure! You can use it for steaming, boiling or deep frying. We used it last night for steaming veggies, seafood, and sausage. My dad uses his to deep fry turkey.

You would need to lift the turkey and manually turn it to allow even cooking. The cooking oil does not cover even a 12 pound bird so the top would not be cooked and the bottom would be over cooked. While it says indoor, unless you want your house to smell like grease, take it to a porch or garage.

No, in fact this is the only pot that can be used with it. The burner is spring loaded and only this pot will depress the spring. I have never deep fried a turkey on here, but I have done multiple homebrew batches. Extract and partial can be done on this, but not all grain. For a bigger pot, I bought a Bayou Classic KAB4 and it has been amazing. Just follow the instructions for lighting it and it lights every time.

18lbs is the limit with this fryer but you are better off frying too small turkeys if you need that much turkey.

You can fry a couple of slices, but you will need to drain off the fat. It is not too deep maybe 1/4 inch.

While it is certainly possible to not turn on the rotisserie switch, the turkey is not entirely submerged in the oil, maybe only 2/3 of the way. This means that you would have to do the work of the rotisserie and turn the bird yourself. I would not recommend it. On the other hand, the manual/DVD for the unit mentions that one can use it for regular deep-frying, presumably for items that can be completely submerged.

Yes...however, if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't buy this one. It did not heat up. I kept turning up the heat because turkey wasn't getting done.

Don't know but it has enough output to fry anything with ease from fries to Turkeys!

It won't work with anything that have batter as no oil will hold it like in regular deep fryer.

Yeah - I use mine on a turkey fryer. If anything I have to keep it turned down as my burner is capable of producing more than enough heat. Hope that helps!
