Re: Deep fried turkeys
This is the Cleveland thanksgiving special.
1. Put fryer in garage.
2. Fill up to the top with oil.
3. Heat up oil to frying temperature.
4. Drop in turkey.
5. Run away screaming for the fire department because the oil spilled over and exploded into flames.
It's unbelievable how many times every year this happens.

Re: Deep fried turkeys
What is it with people and their war against dry turkeys?????? Are dry turkeys such a huge problem that people are burning their own houses down in protest?
The main reasons for dry turkeys is (1) you're not roasting/baking it correctly or (2) you've bought a cheap old turkey.
Get your collective act together folks. Don't be bested by a big dumb bird.

I've got one and it works well. Get the peanut oil to 350 (Inject the bird as the oil heats) cook the bird for 3.5 mins per pound. It works every time.
Corn on the cob is good too. Again have the oil at 350 and give it 5 mins or until the ears float.

Re: Deep fried turkeys
I did this for the first time last year. It was fantastic. We used a large outdoor fryer with a tub of peanut oil. Delicious

Re: Deep fried turkeys
Mum always covered the bird with rashes of bacon to stop it from drying out....gives it a lovely flavour too.

Re: Deep fried turkeys
I think it's more the pressure of it, don't you? If your turkey is no good, well, that's the star of the show! To me the hardest thing about cooking Thanksgiving is the timing. Plus last year some distant relative kept coming into the kitchen asking how much longer before she could mix her marshmallow/fruit salad (blech!) while I was trying to get the sweet potatoes to finish roasting. I was about ready to roast her.

Re: Deep fried turkeys
Exactly. I think this whole turkey frying trend is just a thinly veiled excuse for men to blow things ups and burn things down. We've been bamboozled.

There was a thread on this last turkey season...
It's pretty good....but not worth the effort to do at home, but do it outside if you do...
