As if people don't gain 5 lbs on Thanksgiving anyway, let's FRY the darn bird!

geesh -- never had it fried, but doesn't sound very healthy -- ends up being 3 times the calories of a normal baked turkey.

I've never tried it either but I hear it's EXCELLENT!!!

Never heard of deep fried till I moved to South Carolina......then I tried it....WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys got me thinkin (look out) Back in the day at our humble little abode in Morton Grove Il. Mom would set the 1950's era Nesco roaster on the washing machine and the whole house would fill with the wonderful aroma via the laundry chute. I don't think I have ever had any I remember being better. She'd start that thing about 7am and always had the whole shootin' match ready exactly at halftime of the afternoon NFL game. More food then five times the number of people should be eating.

Don't forget the leftovers YUM.

It really seems so good now, because that giant sucking sound you will here T-giving afternoon, will be gravey hitting my mother-in-laws turkey. That and the whole family sounds like cats with hair balls!!!!

Mom's gonna be 85 in December and she fell last weekend and I've been thinking of her a lot. Thanks for bringing back some of the better memories. If ya get a chance for a little phin power here way that would be nice too.

Definately Fried!!!
I thought it would be really greasy and icky, but it turns
out so juicy, and only the skin is a little greasy....
Soooooo Good!

I won't argue calorie or fat with ya but what i do know is that the skin gets crisp and holds the juices of the turkey inside. I also know for anyone that is doing the carb thing it does not increase the carbs of the turkey meat.

WOW this group likes food BTW I also have been known to
slice up the sweet potatoes and fry them then roll them around in
powered sugar with cloves and cinnamon

PS cubbie phin power for Mom headed that way!!!

Anyway, deep fried is the only way to cook a bird.

ewww... My dad loves to eat all those things in that bag, battered and fried. I almost faint when I even THINK of that bag.

Much less smell the stuff as it's frying.

I never had them breaded and fried, just braised. But I don't eat the neck. Actually I usually just eat the liver, and sometimes the heart.

Hey, did you ever eat brains? Great breaded and fried. Or spleen? Stuffed. Looks like a hand grenade but it really is tender. But it's illegal to sell them here in NJ.

I have a charcoal smoker so much the same sa the weber execpt
that I put wet wood on the coals ( or I tried whole coffee beans once very nice ) I think I like all but much of it is the prep of the bird
and the basting/injecting.

If you never tried the fried don't bet on it that the webber or any other smoker is better. If you have, then you have a right to your opinion of the smoker. Even if it is wrong

Deep Phried!!

I have the toys to either smoke or fry the bird, I have had the smoker
for over 15 years and only had the fryer about 2 years now
I'm still learning the ins and outs of the fryer so with more experiance
I will get better I like both and did both for the family last year
they were both well liked (no leftovers) and I think that I need a
larger pot as mine only fits a 8-10 lb bird.

Has anyone else tried the Jack Daniels barrel chips? When a barrel has reached the end of it's life they make chips that give a nice oak flavor with a hint of Jack. A warning, oak will need to soak longer the hickory or mesquite.

No but that sounds yummy
I like a mix of cherry and apple with oak as a base myself

EXACTLY what I was going to say! Every football game I go to, a turkey deep-fried in Peanut Oil is a must. (We even made it on the Buffalo Evening news once!)

I'm a total retard when it comes to cooking. I love to eat, but it's best to leave the cooking to someone else.

Now, with that being said... I must say that a "turkey deep fried in peanut oil" sounds pretty damn good. I just have no clue how one would do such a thing. Could someone please explain to me the process of deep frying a turkey so that maybe I can get someone to cook me one?

Gracias...
