Oil-Less Fried Turkey image

The "unfried" turkey cooked in an oil-less fryer comes out tender and juicy on the inside with a deliciously crisp skin. We recommend injecting the turkey to really get flavor into the meat. The cooking process seals in all the flavor and moisture. The outcome is very close to a fried turkey without actually frying the turkey....
