Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well Burgundyrose

Kay just took this tasty looking bird out of the oven!
She cooked it all night... the oven was pre-heated to 350? and then the bird was placed in for one hour and then the heat cut back to 185? for the overnight roasting. Kay is working today so that's why the process was set up for an overnight cooking.
Me gonna also deep-fry another turkey about mid-afternoon and I may take a couple of pics of that... it may be raining, so I'll have to wait and see about that part. (cannot deep-fry inside)

Post by: Skhilled on November 26, 2010, 09:05:20 AM: I just came back from the store with a turkey. LOL The first 2 stores said they've been out of turkeys since Wed. Since we were away yesterday, I decided to still cook a few things. ;)

@BR... :belly:

I never got around to taking any pictures of the deep-fried turkey and now it's too late because we ate up most all of it!!! :yikes:
It turned out really great and so it saw the most action when everyone was making their plates and going back for seconds. The turkey that Kay roasted overnight in the oven was great as well and we ate about half of it. (there were 7 of us)

It took about 3.5 gallons of Peanut oil... and yes, that's a one time use for the oil. :yikes:

... but then, you only do that once or twice a year.

Post by: Lesmond on November 27, 2010, 05:39:03 AM: OMG 3.5 gallon of oil!!

Is it cooked whole, or do you cut it up?

Title: Re: Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Post by: Skhilled on November 27, 2010, 10:03:48 AM: Yeah, it involves propane and a lot of hot oil.

Post by: Burgundyrose on November 29, 2010, 01:30:48 AM: hehehehe, looks like a fun adventure to me!!! JK, they showed one of those videos on our local news. I still want to try one, but I think I will let someone else do the cooking.
