Is turkey placed in fryer with legs down or up?

Here's why:

* Even cooking: Placing the legs up allows the heat to circulate evenly around the turkey, ensuring the breast cooks thoroughly without drying out.

* Preventing overcooking: The legs are typically more dense and take longer to cook. By placing them up, they are exposed to the hottest part of the fryer, ensuring they cook through without overcooking the breast.

* Less splatter: With the legs up, the turkey is less likely to splatter hot oil during frying.

Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific fryer.
