Deep Fried Turkey

Post by Karl w/ a K »

This is a bit off the subject, but today I am going to deep fry a turkey for the first time. I'm looking for advice so I don't screw it up too bad. Anyone from the south out there with suggestions? I'd like to perfect the art of deep frying before Thanksgiving. Wish me luck....Karl....

Deep fried TURKEY?? Man, I just gotta see this! You don't mean a whole one do ya?? :0) Will you send me some pics?? I recently had Courtney and Amy from the U.S. visiting me and it's amazing how different food is from state to state, let alone in different countries...Amy is from Alabama and has promised to bring the ingredients and cook 'grits' for us next time she comes...Court from Michigan didn't look too keen! ME i'll try anything at least once ...usually! Amy thought the funniest thing she saw here was hot dog sausages in a can...Court was brave enough to try two of our national dishes, Haggis and black pudding and still lives to tell the tale...anyway...sorry...just had to post on your message Karl wi' a K...it does us good to get off subject now and again..! Happy cooking!

You are brave! We are from the South but have never eaten, much less made a deep-fried turkey. But we have friends who did/have, and who raved about how moist (& non-greasy) it was. So I've left them a vms & if I hear back before too late, I'll post any suggestions they have out here.

Good luck & send samples,

Ellen

While I've never done this (or had it) I have heard that they are very good! You do have to be careful. Here are some links I found on it:

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.

I always thought the deep fried turkey thing was an urban myth, I'm amazed people actually do it! Having said that, here in New Zealand they thought deep fried Mars Bars were an urban myth, and now you can buy them in my local fish n chip shop, and very nice they are too, especially if you are keen to increase your cholesterol intake! :0)

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Mars deep fried... melted chocolate sounds good to me.
I have not had one in years but deep fried?


Candy Man Mars. At a certain point in the 30s, Forrest Mars ran a successful candy business in Chicago. His father Frank’s company, which Forrest operated, had made a small fortune with the Snickers bar. ... opened a small candy factory in England where he churned out Mars bars

Check this site Kath, best British recipes http://www.bestbritishfood.freeserve.co ... rsbar.html
Never knew Mars was from the States! I think this recipe would work with Snickers too. If ever I get to a UBPN picnic/camp, I reckon we should experiment with some of this stuff guys :0)
Thanx for the pics Karl, it did look delicious....
