Who's frying their bird on thursday?

I brined for the first time and the turkey came out AWESOME!
Roasted the turkey in the oven and served it with garlic mashed potatoes, orange cranberry sauce, and apple chorizo cornbread stuffing. The turkey was great, but that stuffing was quite amazing too. 
Dessert was a home made sweet potato pie with a snifter of Van Winkle 18 year old bourbon. Great Thanksgiving for me and my wife! 

apple chorizo cornbread stuffing.

I'd like to hear more about that.

Hmm, i haven't seen that before, sounds interesting!

Resurrecting from WAY back.

Think I have the go ahead to fry our bird this year and looking forward to it.

Have some to learn about brining and injecting.

I like Alton Browns tips from his episode on frying turkey:

Thanks Al.  Watched that several times last night and even bookmarked it.  Spent an hour or so doing some research so as to not screw it up.

Unfortunately the three you posted back on page 4 have been removed.

Just got a new Turkey and a new Fish fryer to product test so something is gonna be fryed up this holiday break

I used to do the deep fried turkey thing until I came to the conclusion that it just wasn't really anything special. To be fair, it was good at first because I was accustomed to my grandma's turkeys that were cooked to 185 and so dry that I'd rather eat the cutting board. "Brined and BBQ'd" has become the bird of choice for me now. The oven is still free for the sides and I dont have to hear about the fact that I'm going to catch the yard on fire with a deep fryer - win win.

we're going to try fried turk, and prime rib, for xmas this year.  ling cod lollipops as a backup (might as well, since the oil will be hot ...)
