Deep fried or Traditional?

[Beetle]

How will you prepare your bird this Thanksgiving. I really like it fried, but for Thanksgiving it has to be roasted and stuffed.

Always fry the turkey much better eatin and tradition really ain't that important anyway......

[R.D.]

Depends on WHO is cooking it and Where were eating it at.


I usually liek traditionally cooked bird with stuffin.........I actually LOVE my MIL's stuffing she does

I've had Fried.......very good done that way.....just have to have Stuff-in-a-box to go with it

Well it ain't like you went out and killed the bird......so once you buy a house raised bird you stick tradition right in the arse........

I'm smoking the wild turkey I shot in the Spring on my Traeger. I plucked it, so hopefully it will be good. I'm also making another smaller turkey on the Traeger in case the wild one is no good.

Fried! Who cares about tradition when I can have gobble gobble on the table within 40 minutes.

[War Eagle1]

I've never had it fried, I would like to try it but it's tradional for me

[Jiggernaut]

I loved a whole turkey deep fried until I started smoking them on the Traeger. They turn out fantastic that way, esp. if you use apple pellets and keep the bird moist.

However it is made when I show up I will eat it! I don't cook, so therefore I don't complain. Learned that one a looooong time ago.

in all seriousness. I did shoot one with my bow sitting by a cedar tree. we didn't have time to set the blind up. They were coming down the hill right towards us. Luckily there was a wash out that i was able to stand in and draw my bow. he came within 15 yards and turn broadside and started gobbling and I let one fly and dropped it right in its tracks. Then the thing gets up and flies straight up like its a damn space shuttle taking off or a pheasant that got slobbered knockered with a 12 gauge ( how is that for some descriptive writing ). and he fell right back to the ground and the game was over. that was the best hunt i have been on.

Now that is a good story!! Congrats on the bird and many kudos for taking him blindless with a bow.

i injected one with Mike's Hard Lemonade once, put a little liquid Onion & Garlic in with it, good stuff there

[Mike.]

Tradition?? No tradition in frying??? Um, this is America and I do believe we fry just about everything... now that's tradition!
