I was half thinking of trying to cook a deep fried turkey this
year,
just for something different.
Until I came upon this, that is ....

Sort of confirms that Allstate commercial talking about a dozen or
so
houses burning down on holidays due to deep frying turkeys.
I agree with Harry and oven roast ours. Nothing finer than the
smell
of turkey cooking in the oven all day.
Household cooking takes up very little electricity. While no device is
foolproof, a modern electric oven on "bake" is pretty close to it. The
question for me remains, though...why would anyone want to take a
relatively healthy food item, such as turkey, and cook in a way that
adds what it doesn't have a lot of naturally, fat and cholesterol.
If done correctly and at the correct temp. you'll hardly notice an
increase in fat and cholesterol. Turkey has a fair percentage of fat
as is, the fat goes to the bottom of the pan, and you baste with it,
what's the difference?
We had a "smoked" turkey one year. It tasted more like ham than
turkey,
if memory serves. I like roast turkey, and I expect it to taste like
roast turkey, not oil-soaked turkey or ham turkey.- Hide quoted text -

If it tasted like ham, you did a horrible job smoking it.
A. I don't "baste" with pan drippings.
B. I didn't smoke the ham.

Just how many turkeys have you fried? Or is this another one of your
lasily uninformed opinions?
I have not deep fried any..........but my BIL has. It was dry and lacked
taste........and that included both times he deep fried the turkey.
I would agree that it was probably *operator error*. Regardless, why change
a good thing?- Hide quoted text -

I have messed up one, left it in for an extra couple of minutes,maybe
two, that is all it takes. And if any of you have any control at all,
no matter how you choose to cook the bird, sometime try a simple Honey
and Balsamic Vinegar injection and baste for your bird, Really
tenderizes and does a turkey good...
