Disclaimer: Nervous about deep frying a brined turkey? Don't be. If you follow the guidelines, a deep fried brined turkey is perfectly safe. Just to be sure, we called the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line (1-800-288-8372) and talked to a trained Butterball expert. They assured us as long as you follow the instructions — Don't deep fry any turkey larger than 12-14 pounds; Make sure the turkey is completely patted dry before lowering into the oil — it should be fine. Also, be sure to watch ALL three Alton Brown's Brining and Deep Frying Videos for complete How-To instructions.
