Deep-Fried Turkey
- One 12-pound fresh turkey (preferably fresh; if previously frozen, it must be completely thawed)
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened (optional)
- 2 tablespoons ground cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 gallons peanut oil (the amount of oil depends on the size of your fryer; better to err on the side of buying too much since you can always return any unused, unopened containers)
