Turkey Day!

How did a turkey that large turn out in the deep frier?

Well, it was a little concern, first the thermometer that one uses in a deep frier, if used with a lid, is too much of an angle to have a turkey in the container. Just attch the thermometer to outside edge and then it sticks in close enough to side to not bother your turkey

Second, you need to have the lid close by, to actually have it to cover the most of the popping cause when you lose a little of the injection you put into the turkey(I use creole butter, suggested 1 oz per pound)

Third, if you submerge an injected turkey watch the drippings from the injectable, a 20 pound turkey I needed just over 4 gallons of peanut oil, maybe 4.25 gallons to submerge, and still had 2 inches or so left til the top, however, the oil was popping about 3-4 inches in air with that injectioned butter, but it calmed down after 10 minutes or so.

The whole key, after all the turkeys I have deep fried, is almost exactly 3.5 minutes per pound of turkey, cooking between 325 degrees and 350 degrees.

Here is the key, get your oil to 350 (not higher) which should take around 25 minutes and then place your turkey in, which is going to drop the temperature to about 310 degrees maybe a slight less, then just monitor, after another 10-15 minutes it will be rising.

Just use your governor or whatever you call the red knob to decrease the temperature, NOT the actual bottle opening knob, and then monitor the temperature.

@ 3.5 minutes a pound it comes out golden/brown...and remember even if it gets dark or even blackened from too long, most times the inside is so succulent and moist

Hint: Stay with it, DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED!

Hope it turns out well, should you try it

any suggestions on things to add in a turkey sandwich?

Salt, pepper, mayo, mustard, lettuce, and two slices of tomato. The bread must be toasted and slightly warm when you put the mayo on too.

So, what are your plans for giving thanks for the defeat
The heart attack mashed pots are twelve potatoes (four russets, eight reds), with a stick of butter, a cup of sour cream, and a package of cream cheese. .

Gack. I almost had a heart attack reading the receipe.

It sounds utterly, thoroughly, completely, unquestionably, absolutely, undeniably DISGUSTING (Comrade's stupid mashed potato recipe).

[Imran Siddiqui]

It's actually something I saw Martha Stewart make as well (with Snoop Dog on her show, believe it or not... he was expressing astonishment as to all that butter, cream cheese, etc), so I'd say she knows a bit more about cooking than Mr Fun .

Che bastardizes the day like he bastardizes everything. Citing some commie rag doesn't change anything.
Look at Wikipedia, or correct them.

Martha Stewart used that despicable recipe?? GROSS

[Imran Siddiqui]

Further proof that Mr Fun has no taste

Though it appears she uses heavy cream instead of sour cream.

[MrFun]

My taste happens to be more refined than Martha Stewart's in this case. And I have to admit, I'd never thought I'd see that day.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Or rather, your taste is lacking. I trust Martha

[SlowwHand]

She deserved to be in jail. Another Al Capone. Finally served on a technicality.

Go have sex with her then.

[SlowwHand]

Hey, hey, hey! You just crossed a line there. That's going way too far.

[MrFun]

Are you the Apolyton Texas ranger, or something Slowwy?

[Imran Siddiqui]

He's just jealous I'm giving my love to Martha instead of him .
