Deep frying turkeys became a big trend about a decade ago, with the birds cooking quickly and coming out super juicy compared to the traditional oven roasting, but using this method is messy, dangerous, and time-consuming to set up. Enter the turkey air fryer—it is fast, safe, and easy. This one uses an infrared cooking system powered by propane that mimics that deep-frying experience without oil while still turning out juicy, evenly cooked meat and crispy skin. The 16,000 BTU cooker will handle a 16-pound turkey, but it can cook other meats to perfection as well, including a 6-pound pork shoulder or 8-pound roast. Neat features include a piezo ignition for quick and simple starting and an easy-to-access front grease tray for easy clean-up.
Satisfied customers were most surprised that the air fryer could turn out results similar to that of a deep fryer. “I have cooked six or seven turkeys and they look and taste as good as the deep-fried ones,” said one shopper. Another echoed that, saying, "Cooks everything perfectly—turkey, brisket, prime rib—whatever type of meat, it delivers great food." Another reviewer remarked on the crisp factor, noting that turkey comes out “excellent with a crispy outside and juicy inside”
Other shoppers like that the cooking machine is easy to use. "It’s easy—prep the bird, place it in the basket, start the cooker, and just time it,” according to one shopper. And a few others were glad that it is safer and less messy than a deep fryer, saying that there’s “no need to sit around wondering if an oil fire will erupt” and “no more oil to clean or mess with.”
If you love deep-fried turkey, do yourself a favor and pick up this safer and less annoying turkey air fryer. It’ll give you the same results—juicy meat and crispy skin—without the danger and the mess, plus it can cook any kind of meat evenly. But it’s $40 off and time is getting short for prepping for Thanksgiving, so put this handy cooker in your cart today.
