Thanksgiving Fried Turkey (refrigerator, estimates, temperature)

[Grannysroost]

If you use the fryer often, you can strain and keep cool and it will last several uses. The trick to the right amount of oil is put the turkey in the fryer and add water to cover, mark the line where the oil should be Shut the gas off off before removing the bird...

But don't think for a minute it will be good to use next year.

You can fire-pit cook a turkey, never tried it myself but it seems to work well?

Also, check out Great Cajun Cook-Off - Home for a list of some of the cajun/southern restaurants in the area. I would try to contact them to see if any are selling them.

Ew, I don't think granny was saying that used oil would be good for up to a year. She said a few uses if strained, I don't think that means a few uses within a years time.

LOL...a few uses only, that would be correct

Smokin' the bird this year, and no jokes about rolling papers, eh?

We've done it all....roasting, firepit, frying, brining....

....

.....smoking is the best for us.

It takes a while, but it's well worth it. The cook, (me) gets up around 6:00 AM and gets the fire going. Hardwood is expensive out here and takes some time to get it right but man......is it good!

Of course, the cook is quite drunk by supper time.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Those deep fried turkeys are scrumpdillyishous though. Especially when y'all use the kitchen injector.

My brother-in-law in Atlanta uses peanut oil; quite tasty.

Inject my turkey leg with garlic oil and Tobasco (Trademark R, LOL) and I'm in hog heaven.

Why don't you just fry it yourself?

My dad once cooked a turkey for us inside a ceramics kiln. After he seasoned it, he wrapped it in aluminum foil, then covered it in wet clay and put it inside his kiln. When the clay was completely baked solid, he took it out and cracked it open. All the juices were sealed inside and it was the best turkey I've ever had.
