Deep Fried Turkey Success

 In a bid to change up Thanksgiving, M and V brought a deep fryer here to do a Pre-Thanksgiving trial run on frying a turkey.
Armed with 4 gallons of peanut oil and a new propane tank, M had the cooking area secured.  
 Once the oil was hot enough, in went the turkey, only 3 1/2 minutes per pound.
 It smelled wonderful.
 And looked great.  It had a crispy skin and juicy inside.  I think it was much more moist than an oven baked turkey.  
 M also did a great job carving it up.   I think if you want to change up from a traditional turkey, try a deep fried one, delicious.
And the best part was J and M doing the dishes afterwards.

  1. We love turkey around here (but we couldn't handle 2 in one week). Mind you, here in the Great White North, Thanksgiving has come and gone a month ago.
    I do wonder though, how well would that work at -18* (2*F).
