Jerry W Posted November 27, 2008 #11 Posted November 27, 2008 Hmmmmmmmm, guess I should have taken some pictures. I ended up frying 15 turkeys by the time it was over and did not take one picture.
flb_78 Posted November 27, 2008 Author #12 Posted November 27, 2008 Hmmmmmmmm, guess I should have taken some pictures. I ended up frying 15 turkeys by the time it was over and did not take one picture. Damn, 15 turkeys!?!?!? How many fryers did you have going at once?
greg_in_london Posted November 27, 2008 #13 Posted November 27, 2008 DEEP FRIED turkey ???? Hmmm..... We'll stick with the oven, thanks. That's not causing some international offence, is it ?
flb_78 Posted November 27, 2008 Author #14 Posted November 27, 2008 DEEP FRIED turkey ???? Hmmm..... We'll stick with the oven, thanks. That's not causing some international offense, is it ? It sounds odd at first, but after you've had one, you'd understand. It's not greasy because there is no batter on the outside. The inside is very juicy. Head the oil to 350 degrees, drop the bird in and cook it for 3.5 minutes/lb. 12lb bird was done in 40 minutes. No heat in the house. The oil instantly sears the skin and innards locking in the juice.
Jerry W Posted November 27, 2008 #15 Posted November 27, 2008 Damn, 15 turkeys!?!?!? How many fryers did you have going at once? I have 2 fryers, but only used 1 this year. However, I fry for 2 or 3 days. I just kind of turns to a turkey frying party for a few days here. I will check, but there may have been several beers consumed also.
autopilot Posted November 27, 2008 #16 Posted November 27, 2008 DEEP FRIED turkey ???? Hmmm..... We'll stick with the oven, thanks. That's not causing some international offence, is it ? Yeah, what flb_78 said. I'ts not at all greasy or oily. Since it's seared outside the meat remains moist and very flavorful. I was resistant myself until I tried some. Good stuff and it's something the men can do that gives the women a bit of a break & it frees up the oven for other goodies like brocolli casserole and stuffing and pies........I gotta go to the kitchen again! Oh yeah, if you do try it, thaw the bird completely and "ease" it into the oil. (do a trial fit using water and the bird in the pot, to find out exactly how much oil you will need.
Squidley Posted November 27, 2008 #18 Posted November 27, 2008 DEEP FRIED turkey ???? Hmmm..... We'll stick with the oven, thanks. That's not causing some international offence, is it ? If you like fried chicken...you'll love deep fried Turkey. This was my 2nd one and like you saw in the pics...there wasn't much left, ours was only 10 lbs. George and Kenny...dont be the pot calling the kettle black there guys
bongobobny Posted November 27, 2008 #19 Posted November 27, 2008 I have to agree, deep fried turkey is fantastic!! Just don't set your place on fire putting the bird into the hot oil! You might also like garbage can turkey, it too is an excellent way to prepare turkey...
Yammer Dan Posted November 28, 2008 #20 Posted November 28, 2008 You want Pics of Micky D's Double Quarter??
Guest tx2sturgis Posted November 28, 2008 #21 Posted November 28, 2008 I've made 'beer-butt' chicken...its VERY good! I guess that it would work with turkeys, too!
Jerry W Posted November 28, 2008 #22 Posted November 28, 2008 Before frying one yourself, I would suggest watching someone who has some experience fry one. It can get out of hand pretty easy. One of the guys I fried one for tried it and said he was not sure how large the oil slick was because his driveway is only 10' wide and the oil was on the grass on both sides of the driveway. He said it got kinda' exciting, he stayed over here all day Monday watching me, decided he should have done that before he tried frying one.
1BigDog Posted November 28, 2008 #23 Posted November 28, 2008 Sorry, but I prefer to keep my "Bird" under wraps........... http://www.clipartguide.com/_named_clipart_images/0511-0710-2218-4545_Pilgrim_Cartoon_clipart_image.jpg
Vance Posted November 28, 2008 #24 Posted November 28, 2008 Hmmmmmmmm, guess I should have taken some pictures. I ended up frying 15 turkeys by the time it was over and did not take one picture. Sounds like the fish that got away.
Jerry W Posted November 28, 2008 #25 Posted November 28, 2008 Don't really feel the need to take pictures.
