We are deep frying our turkey this Thanksgiving!!!

[Shell Beau]

:9 How about y'all?

[m_welby]

1. nah, it'd ruin my turkey fryer.

it's dedicated for brewing beer !!

[Shell Beau]

2. Ha!!

:) Understood. :beer:

[chaska]

3. It's great that way, but be careful. Lot's of houses burn down every...

year because of fried turkey.

[Shell Beau]

11. Well, we will fry it outside. My husband

has a turkey fryer that uses a butane tank. There is no way we would use it inside. :)

[Wapsie B]

4. I've done that before.

mmmmmmmmmm fried in peanut oil. Damn good eat'n

[Loonman]

5. Careful, there

That hot oil has a way of getting away from people. Don't leave it unattended, always have somebody watching an open flame, outdoors, like you normally would.

[Shell Beau]

12. Of course!!

;) We've fried them before, but this will be the first time my husband has done it!!!

[Taverner]

6. Ooooh be careful

Those things can be dangerous - the oil can catch fire very easily and turn your turkey fryer into a bomb - literally!

[Debi]

7. Yum! My uncle always fries a small turkey for all of us to try n/t

[Mizmoon]

8. You lucky!

I always wanted to try that. Please post a report on how easy/hard it was to do and how it came out!

[Shell Beau]

13. We've done it before. It is quite

easy if you have a turkey frier. You just season it up, inject the marinade you want into the bird (let it sit for a while) and then fry it for about 30-45 minutes!!

[Texasgal]

9. I've never had fried turkey.

Is it good?

[Taverner]

10. It's good, but kinda defeats the purpose

Turkey is supposed to be healthy...and this undoes all that...LOL

[Texasgal]

14. To me it sounds like it would just

be greasy. But people say that it is so good. :shrug:

I just can't imagine it.

[Shell Beau]

17. It isn't like fried chicken. You don't

put flour on it and fry it. It just makes the skin kind of crispy. The inside of the turkey isn't greasy at all!! :9

[Texasgal]

22. You mean you don't use

CORNFLAKES????? :rofl: :popcorn:

It just sounds gross... although, like I said people have said it's REALLY good. I'll try anything once.... how far is your place from Austin? :P

[Shell Beau]

26. Well, let's see, I know it is about 8 hours from Dallas.

No cornflakes!! :puke: :P

This is what my hubby will look like frying our turkey this year (this is just a random picture of a random person, not my hubby)

[Left Is Write]

27. I wasn't sure about it either until I ate turkey my dad deep fried.

My sister and BIL gave him a turkey fryer for Christmas a few years ago, but my first taste of fried turkey was summer 2004. It was really good.

What a mess, though. I have no desire to own a turkey fryer. I'll settle for making homemade doughnuts in my Fry Daddy. :P

[Left Is Write]

18. It's really quite moist and delicious.

The skin is very crispy, but I don't eat the skin anyway.

Nevertheless, I plan to roast my turkey as usual.

One of the many drawbacks of deep frying a turkey is that there are no good pan drippings to make gravy with!

[Shell Beau]

20. LOL!!

Really. That would make for some yummy gravy!! :9

[Shell Beau]

15. Oh, there is nothing healthy about Thanksgiving food

at my house!!! Nothing defeats the purpose if it is good!!!

[Left Is Write]

21. Do you have pumpkin pie?

VEGETABLE! It's a vegetable you can even eat for breakfast.

:P

[Shell Beau]

23. Oh yes, we have pumpkin pie among many

other desserts. Apple pie, cococut cake, pecan pie, and this year my mom is making chocolate cobbler (It is supposed to be delicious). Mmmmm!!

[Left Is Write]

25. Apple - fruit. Coconut - fruit. Pecans - protein.

Chocolate - good for brain chemistry.

See? All healthful foods!

[Shell Beau]

28. Absolutely! That is the way I like to think of it!!

Plus it is one day a year and if we can't overindulge once a year, then when can we? Of course, Christmas dinner at my mom's is somewhat similar to Thanksgiving!! Gotta love the holidays.

[LaraMN]

16. My IL's did it one year, and the grease smell made me very nauseous.

I didn't eat any, but other people seemed to like it.

[Shell Beau]

19. Did y'all not cook it outside?

We would never cook it inside! The turkey frier has a butane tank that goes with it.

[LaraMN]

33. It was outside but I could still smell it through an open window.

I detest the smell of grease- I probably fry food about once a year.

[Shell Beau]

34. I hate the smell of grease too!!

That is why we fry it very far from the door. Luckily my parents have a huge back yard!!!

[Fox Mulder]

24. I think my mom is deep frying it.

I'm not sure.

I hope she is. I love deep fried turkey! Mmmmmmm...

Now you got me all hungry. :P :)

[Shell Beau]

30. Mmmm!!

:9

[tigersumtin]

29. You might want to stuff

your turkey with onions, garlic, and jalapenos it adds to the flavor. And be careful.

[Shell Beau]

31. That does sound yummy!

There is no telling what my husband will put in it! But it will be yummy!!

[tigersumtin]

32. my lips are smackin

what time is dinner?
