when you fry the turkey..do you use 10W30, 10W40..or the synthetic stuff......(G)..seriously..one reason I've never tried it is that it's such a waste of oil...BTW..as I mentioned on an earlier post...brining is the BEST..it was fabulous....suggest you try it..

Ok, I'll "bite"...lol...how do you brine a turkey, and what do you do with it once it's brined?

Well, if you fry TWO it's only HALF the waste.

A waste of oil?

No, no, no.... A great thing about peanut oil is that it doesn't get rancid easily. We fry on up on occasion for parties, etc. and I'll use the same 5gal. drum of peanut oil for about 6 months (filtered of course).

Maybe I'll try the brining sometime, but trust me when I say fried rules!!!!!

How long do you keep it in the brine Ken? Do you then cook it covered with a cheesecloth soaked in the brine (which I believe Martha Stewart did but am not sure if it was brine)?
