Re: Deep Fried Turkey
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving............mine was so....so.....I had trouble deep frying the turkey. First, I was concerned that one would not be enough, so I bought 2. I got the peanut oil up to 350 degrees like everyone said. The problems started when I got the first turkey within about 5 feet of the hot oil...........it flew off.....so did the second one. I don't know what I did wrong??????
Really, it was awesome. Great family get together and food was perfect. My kids tricked me into taking some pictures............here is one of them...Seems as though, I was the only one that didn't know to make a funny face...........left to right: oldest daughter, daughter in law, son, my fat azz, and my youngest daughter.

Re: Deep Fried Turkey
Could have been................really, my kids are crazy (like me) and never miss a chance to have a good time. The grand kids are sleeping well tonight....they wore me out, and were still going. Life is so good and I am so blessed.

Re: Deep Fried Turkey
After the turkey the trick to getting GREAT fries is to use Russet potatoes (we bought a commercial slicer) peeled and sliced the night before soaking in water.
Part cook all the fries so that when everyone is ready to eat, you can then go back and finish fry to a crisp golden brown color. We used to fry Dill Pickles but opted not to batter & fry this year! Girls prefer conventional "bird in the oven",So we always do 2 birds. Guy's cook outside with the can! (where most of the coolers are) Most find the fried bird moist and delicious! |

Re: Deep Fried Turkey
My first fried turkey was a sucess. Didn't burn the house down, or take a trip to the ER.
I believe I cooked it a little to long. I used the weight on the price sticker which was with the neck and guts. Plus after I put in the turkey the temp stayed at 300 degrees for the first and second 15 minutes (auto shut off) I then put the lid on it to raise the oil temp to 350. But left it in an extra 5 minutes. It was still great, but the temp in the breast went to 170 degrees when I took it out. I read the ideal temp was 160 degrees. All in all it was great. And I'm hoping to perfect it next time Christmas Day.
