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. |

Deep fried is not oil soaked. |

Must be a California thing ... although the Louisiana cajuns do a boiled crab thing too. Any Maryland boy will tell you to "steam" crabs so they don't get waterlogged. ;-) Rock salt and old bay spice Some we boil, sometimes steam. Same pot works for both. |

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.
