My 12 year old nephew and I spent time watching turkey fyer fails on you tube. I wouldn’t mind trying one some day. Tomorrow we are using the oven.
Nice reminder!
“Make sure the turkey is dead”
Party pooper.
I’m going to deep fry in my kitchen, surrounded by full jerry cans, if you dint mind.
Don’t pour a full beer into the turkey fryer.
Saw this done. It wasn’t pretty.
We purchased a turkey fryer in 2010 to try it. We have never had a turkey any other way since. It is the most tender meat ever. No baked/roasted turkey can compare.
You’ll burn your house down, kid…
I’ve done this many many times and this is great advice. Except I never ever pay attention to #13.
Serious question - not meant to be sarcastic:
Why would you go to this trouble if later you're just going to dunk that turkey in water? Effectively unsaturating the meat?
I believe 4 other rules are applicable:
1. Keep children away,
2. As with firearms, know your background (I.e., plan for the worst, as though flaming hot oil goes EVERYWHERE, I.e., don’t do it in the garage or on a deck)
3. Cook should have an elevated platform to escape to in the event of #2 to prevent serious injury(I.e., that ‘gravity’ thing),
4. Have at least 2 fire extinguishers handy.
IMHO the fatal flaw with such appliances is no automatic gas shutoff. On that basis and the high risk of accident, I will never deep fry a turkey (and that’s coming from someone well experienced with risk). It’s just not worth it, besides the fact that a brined/injected/smoked turkey combination is FAR superior.
(The key to the latter is to treat the turkey like ribs: Wrap in foil and finish in the oven)
Good luck. It may be another year or two before I can smoke my next turkey.
Last month I bought an injector just so I would have it for my turkey this year. I am not sure what to inject it with but I know that the barbecue masters on TV use broth and Apple juice and other thin liquids.
Our son-in-law used to rave about deep fried turkey, so one year we allowed him to deep fry it for us.
Too many beers later, I choked down the worst, the driest, turkey I have ever eaten, including MY first attempt at roasting one in the oven.
It does taste good but it’s messy
Now what party of lovely Georgia does a southerner drink beer at Thanksgiving
When I was a kid in Mississippi thanksgiving was a no booze event
I’ll admit i think I’ve served wine maybe here in middle Tennessee....
Nashville is not southern anymore btw....only the 500,000 Californians moving here view it as such
Nashville is Louisville only bigger and a little warmer
It’s truly now a hillier more country less weird but getting there Austin
Oh yes
Congratulation..
You guys deserve this great season
Hope u go all the way undefeated and beat some Yankee overrated team post season
We know the 3 I speak of and no Cincinnati isn’t one
The "dropped turkey" ones are fun too.
If you’re lucky enough to have a Wild Bird only cook it for 1 MINUTE PER POUND !!!
Trust me I did it one time and burned the bird. At a Wedding Reception...
The Store birds are full of hormones and the WILD BIRD IS NOT.
