Chef David Guas makes this turkey for his family every Thanksgiving. “A great reason to deep-fry your turkey is that it takes only 35 to 40 minutes to achieve a tender, juicy, crackling taste,” he says. Though the turkey’s the star, it wouldn’t be complete without the easy, tasty gravy from Guas’s grandmother.

For the brine
5-1/2 oz. kosher salt (1 cup Diamond Crystal or 1/2 cup Morton)
2夸脱苹果酒
1 12-oz. bottle hot sauce, preferably Crystal (about 11/2 cups)
For the gravy
2 Tbs. canola or vegetable oil
13 oz. assorted turkey parts, such as the neck, gizzard, and heart
1 large sweet onion, quartered
2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped (about 1-1/3 cups)
2 medium ribs celery, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
2夸脱鸡汤
3 Tbs. all-purpose flour; more as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the turkey
1 12-lb. turkey, neck, giblets, plastic ties, and temperature gauge removed
Peanut oil, for frying (about 3 gallons; more as needed)
Transfer the turkey to the bag with the brine, and refrigerate 8 to 10 hours or overnight, rotating the turkey in the bag occasionally to ensure that the entire bird comes in contact with the brine. (If you can’t find a brining bag or a pot large enough, you can盐水在冷却器中的火鸡。)
Remove the turkey from the brine, and dry both the interior and exterior with paper towels. Prop the bird so that it is standing up on a large rimmed baking sheet to allow any remaining liquid from the cavity to drain. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before frying.
Make the stock for gravy
In a large pot, warm the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the turkey parts and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the vegetables and cook, turning occasionally, until browned in places and beginning to soften, about 10 minutes.
Remove and discard the turkey and vegetables from the pot. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large liquid-measuring cup. Use a fat separator to remove the fat from the top of the stock; reserve the fat and set the pot aside.
Fry the turkey
Tie the legs and tuck the wing tips behind the bird, and then put it into the fry basket. Measure the amount of oil needed by lowering the turkey into the fryer and filling with enough oil to cover (the turkey should be completely submerged in the oil), about 3 gallons. Remove the turkey from the oil, and put it on a large rimmed baking sheet. Heat the oil to 350°F.
Add about 1 Tbs. of the turkey fat to the stock pot over medium heat, and whisk in 3 Tbs. flour. Cook, stirring with a whisk, for 1 minute. Slowly add 5 cups of the stock, whisking continually.
