So how was it?</font>
incredible!!!!!!
We did not use any seasonings or marinade and it was just great.
We did put water in the pot first and then lowered the turkey into it to see how much oil we would need.
Got it roaring to 375 degrees, used peanut oil.
patted the turkey dry as best we could and then slowly lowered it bit by bit, it does bubble quite abit!!
Had a 14lb turkey, was ready in 45 minutes.
The skin is sooooo tasty, the meat juicy.
Best turkey our family has had, bar none.
My pop is mr. frugal, so the waste of oil for one meal bothered him. I told him to keep the oil in the pot overnight, then reheat and fry up some oysters and shrimp for Po'boys today (of course I would be over to sample).
Is there a way to keep the oil or am I correct in believing that it should not really be reused in a few weeks?
If you have not tried this, it really is as good as people say.
