From the Titchski household and neighbours.

Thats the bit I don't get, every year, sirens all day, surely these things come with instructions!

If the fryer isn't in the garage it's on the deck right next to the house...same ending though the house burns down. Although you may be lucky and escape with only serious burns and still have a house.

It really is unbelievable how many times this happens this time of year.

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.

Speaking of big dumb birds.

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.

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

Been cooking turkeys (besides dating a few as well) for over 40 years. Ain't never made a dry one yet. Turkey has got to be one of the easiest things in the world to roast.

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

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.

I cover mine in bacon and shove a pricked lemon up it's jacksie, never had a dry one either.

I'm so happy for you

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...
