Whole turkeys require approximately 3 minutes to 4 minutes per pound to cook. The range between 3 minutes to 4 minutes is based on the ability to maintain the desired oil temperature of 350 degrees F. The oil temperature may fluctuate based on outdoor temperature, temperature of the bird when it is lowered into the fat and the capability to maintain the desired oil temperature, etc. Should the oil temperature rise to 375 degrees F, reduce the cooking time OR if the temperature drops below 350 degrees F, increase the heat and add a little extra time.

I understand that you are supposed to first fill the fryer with water and then put the turkey in. Then when the water is at the right level, you take the turkey out and see where the water level is. That is how much oil you will need to put in to keep it from flowing over and setting a fire. Be careful and bon appetit.

I think 3 and a half minutes per pound at 350. My fryer has it engraved on the lid

I believe it is 3-4 minutes per pound. I usually cook mine a little longer because sometimes that time isn't so acurate.
