Default Deep Fried Turkey

So I usually do the overnight turkey and it is always excellent. This year my wife's ex offered to deep fry my 20 pounder. Carried it out to his place in the country and after an hour of listening to fish stories (he's actually an accomplished tournament bass angler) that bird was cooked to perfection. Juicy and "crackly" in the right spots. Only thing is you gotta make up your own gravy. We all ate way too much and that's why it took an extra day to post a review. If you never have done it get to it. Joe

I hope you didn't encounter too many fried turkeys on the highway.

Yesterday, no but I had to bring my nephew back to his hotel on Disney property. I didn't see one cop but they would have needed several buses for the "failure to maintain a lane" folks. Tourists love to "turn it loose" like driving rules don't apply around the "Mouse House." Joe

Once you deep fry a turkey there is no going back. Larry

I have never had a deep fried turkey until I got married 2 years ago. MY wife's family deep fried their turkeys and man o man what a great meal we had.

They cook it in peanut oil in a deep fryer run on propane. The oil cost about 20 bucks and they buy 2 of them.

Nothing fancy, just super supper.

My take is deep fry (outdoors)in summer
Roast in oven in the winter.
Works for me

That's what I was thinking, that ex must be one thankful guy.

If the ex met the husband in law after you divorced. Then it's no problem. It's the husband in laws that the ex met up with while you and ex were still married that get punched!i was with the first ex this weekend and the husband in law. He is a dip ----. But she has gotten fat and ugly so who cares!

I am a Big Green Egg man myself (smoke turkeys over cherry or apple), but I have been told those deep fried turkeys are incredible. Ironically not greasy in the slightest, that the oil seals the skin and then basically steams or bakes the meat.

Seriously, looks sooooo good! Bet it's tender! My BIL came over yesterday and cooked us up a moist and juicy turkey. He is the cook at the St. Louis City Museum bar and grill, and boy he is handy with the turkey!

We do a traditional turkey for Thanksgiving and drink wine. We will be doing a deep fried turkey right around New Years. Load up the deep fryer with peanut oil, deep fry as per instructions, monitor the cooking and drink beer while frying. Beer is great, skin is better & turkey is best.
