       Yield: 1 Servings
  
       1 ea Wild turkey, whole, dressed
   2 1/2 ga Peanut oil
       1 c  Italian salad dressing
     1/2 c  Lemon juice, fresh
       3 tb Onion juice
       3 tb Garlic juice
       2 tb Worcestershire sauce
       1 tb Liquid smoke
   1 1/3 oz Cayenne
     1/4 c  Salt
  
   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. Recipe
