DO DEEP FRY THE TURKEY.

 

DON'T DEEP FRY THE TURKEY BEFORE MAKING SURE THAT IT IS THOROUGHLY THAWED.

 

DON'T DEEP FRY THE TURKEY INDOORS.

 

DON'T OVERFILL THE OIL IN THE FRYER.

Smoked turkey(s) is also very enjoyable and I highly recommend it. But don't be cheap and buy a good smoker. Besides it's a great way get to spend all Thanksgiving day outside drinking beer, throwing horse shoes, and watching the turkey(s) cook.

Yeayyyy~!

Don't fry Turkey: (crazy political and religious extremists have done that already~ Not exactly a Turkey roasting holiday there since May Day 2015...)~

P.S. Do people on Staten Island eat their own protected bird~? Just wondering...

I am glad the craze for this way of cooking a turkey has faded. I never thought it was as good as it was hyped up to be. The fact that it worked at all seemed to be the appeal. I believe a lot of people (family members included) gave up on deep frying after they figured out how much oil was needed and how much it cost, and yes there is the danger factor. I am a big fan of traditional roasting techniques--Martha Stewart's Turkey 101 is excellent. I believe in soaking cheesecloth in about a pound of melted butter and draping the entire bird for most of the cooking time. Additionally, on top of the cheesecloth, I cover the breast portion only with a cap of aluminum foil to slow the cooking while the legs catch up. Remove cheesecloth and foil toward the end to brown evenly. Baste frequently during roasting. Stuffing (dressing if you prefer) is much more convenient made in a separate pan and just as good. Stuffing the bird itself is a pain and increases the roasting time and the difficulty of determining when the bird is cooked. I always use a meat thermometer to determine when the bird is done--in no way do I trust those plastic pop up things which tell you when the bird is overdone. To cook a turkey faster, spatchcocking it (removing the backbone and flattening it out butterflied ) yields very good results.

Also don't fry turkey anywhere near the house if State Farm is your insurer. Mama made a quite modest claim on the ancestral manse after Hurricane Fran flattened the neighborhood, and was summarily given the boot at renewal time. (Moved to Chubb which has proven very generous & fair.)

I've deep fried dozens, will do 4-5 this year. Once the rig is setup and the peanut oil is paid for it's easy to do more than one.

 

Any yes all the warnings in the video are critical. Biggest mistake I have seen is overfilling the oil. My personal,tip, keep to birds under 15#, this size cooks fast, and as mentioned above fry more than one if you have a crowd, everyone goes home with leftovers!!

LOL Also once long ago my father had an auto accident and then got dropped by his carrier Allstate, leading him to say (and gesture) ever after:

You're in good hands with Allstate.

The best way to get great cooked turkey:

 

"Mom, I'm here. Happy Thanksgiving. When do we eat?"

[marylander1940]

mine too, my niece will cook it for me, after all I take care of the kids while she's at work.

Or beef. A standing rib roast is always festive, and feeds a crowd.
