| 51. My family fried our first last Thanksgiving. |
|
It was a thawed turkey. My SIL, who apparently does them a lot said that we should have bought fresh 2 days ahead, brined it overnight tuesday night in the fridge, then allowed it to dry wednesday night, uncovered, in the fridge then onto the oil on Thanksgiving. We all thanked her graciously for her hind sight and cut off her wine.
