Deep Frying Brochure
You’ll be amazed by the flavour and juiciness of the meat, and by the speed in which your turkey cooks when you deep-fry. Turkey deep fryers are available for purchase at most barbecue and hardware stores. To download a PDF of this brochure, click the image on the right or the download page button below.
Brining Brochure
Brining helps lock in moisture and adds tenderness and flavour to turkey. Brining should begin at least six hours prior to cooking, but 12 to 20 hours is ideal. Parts require less time; whole birds require more. Follow our five-step brining process and you’re on your way.
