Tip for Turkey Day

Well day three is here and another turkey creation to share. We know that deep fried food may not be the best for you but hey, it's Thanksgiving and there is nothing like having a deep fried Turkey to enjoy.

Deep Fried Turkey

Ingredients:
1 Turkey
4-6 gallons vegetable oil
salt and pepper
1 turkey frying kit

Method of preparation
Set up turkey frying kit, light fire and fill pot with oil (be very careful, hot oil can burn you worse than boiling water and does not evaporate so it keeps burning you if it gets on you so use extraordinary caution when cooking you turkey). Once oil is at 375 degrees you are ready. Take turkey out and rinse and dry it extremely well (water in hot oil spatters badly and can burn you). Put turkey on the stand and with the hook, lower into the oil. It takes about 4 minutes per pound so you will need to watch it carefully. When turkey is done, take out of the oil (be very careful because the bird will be dripping and this is very hot and can burn you badly). Right when the bird comes out, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let stand for about 10 minutes so that the bird can drain and so that it can cool enough to move. Serve with whatever accoutrements you like. Enjoy
