Mix all ingredients except turkey, pot and peanut oil to make a marinade.
Let stand overnight in refrigerator. Use meat injecting needle to inject
all through turkey. Put turkey and marinade in a large plastic bag and keep
in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days. Remove in time to bring to room temp
before cooking. Heat oil in a 40-60 quart pot to 325 degrees (Use candy
thermometer). Immerse turkey completely and cook for 4 minutes per pound.
Place a pie tin with holes in the bottom in the bottom of the deep fryer to
prevent sticking. This is supposed to be a red-hot favorite. Try one.
