What's the best way to cook a turkey and why is it deep fried?
>>22227620Deep fried turkey is very tender and juicy
Spatchcocked, rubbed down with a garlic herb butter under and all around the skin and smoked on apple wood at 300, crank it up at the very end to crisp
>>22227620Deep fried is delicious, but the setup and cleanup is abysmal.>>22227625Spatchcocked and smoked sounds amazing. I also like just a straight roasted turkey with giblet gravy.
>>22227630I keep the back, neck, and giblets and make the gravy
>>22227620man this reminds me of tailgating outside kinnick stadium in iowa city. we were all sitting around drinking shitty beer. someone flash-fried a turkey in a big metal thing next to his truck and it was done in like no time, I always thought that was a great idea
>>22227620I fry a turkey every year with zero issues. Takes 45 minutes to cook a 15 pound bird. Skin is crunchy and the meat is soft and juicy you really can't beat it. Draw backs>Uses like 2 gallons of oil that you have to do something with>Have to clean a giant oily pot>Fire hazard but only if you are an absolute retard who trys to fry a frozen turkey or puts way too much oil in or heats the oil up too much.
>>22227978>you are drinking half a litre of cooking oil
>>22227978Just throw it over the fence
