Some of the chicks decide to invade our house ... pooped on my desk in my office, ran all the way down the hall to hubby's office, also found some in the front bathroom. Lesson learned, never leave the front door open when chasing turkeys or deer away from our front yard.
Here are some of the turkeys in our neighbor's front yard:
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

It's delicious!

Now we do a basic brown sugar, water, pepper and salt brine (that's it) then we follow this recipe for the rest of it: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/perfect-roast-turkey-recipe4.html except we use a meat thermometer.

Luckily my mother in law always insists upon roasting one turkey each year, the rest we fry (usually 4-6 birds). One year DH could not get the oil to come up to temperature. He took the lid off the pot and the oil ignited. The flash fire shot 10feet up in the air. The thermometer had stopped working and the oil was so hot that ignited when the air hit it as he lifted the lid to check the oil. Luckily no one was hurt and we had a bird in the oven. The oil was ruined and the neighborhood smelled like burning plastic. You have to be really careful when frying. Always on a non flammable surface and never under a patio or in a garage, people burn their houses down like that. DH won't even do it under high tree branches anymore. Plus we now have 2 thermometers.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE!!

Ditto, though I did roast mine today only because I had it roasting while we were visiting family the first half of the day. When I fry a turkey, I usually inject it with marinade 36-48 hours in advance and OMG! I injected the one I roasted today, and it was also delicious. And so juicy & tender it was falling off the bone when carving it up. But I missed that awesome fried flavor.
I can't stand a dry turkey; reminds me of rice cakes. LOL
Nor have I, but I've seen lots of people light their lawns on fire.Dancing Fire|1416984462|3790634 said:I have never tasted deep fried turkey are they good?
