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.

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.


Store-bought smoked turkeys do taste like store-bought smoked ham. Both are
much different from the home smoked variety.

But, I can understand why you two would not want to accept that something
different could be any good.
