baked or fried turkey....

I remember those days too. Folks burning up their homes, garages, their dogs and themselves. We've learned much about weight displacement of peanut oil and that water and boiling oil has a conflict.

I put everyone to sleep with my Thanksgiving meal.

Mission accomplished!

  I was turkeyless this year . . .

I can remember, as if it were yesterday, the very first Thanksgiving that "fried turkeys" made their debut!!
Not thinking the process through, people were frying their turkey INDOORS!!!
Sooooooo many working fires that day.....

That reminds me of the retirement article that Dale Curry the Food Editor of our local rag, the Times-Picayune.  She wrote that she had written an article about frying turkeys that year--even said it was to be done outdoors--when the fad first got legs in NO.  But she didn't say in her article "not under the carport" or not "next to the house" or under a tree, etc.  Of course the numerous fires that occurred that Thanksgiving caused her and her boss to believe that she and the paper would be sued because of her omission of the statement of the obvious!

Sounds like nominations for the,"Dawin Award".

Naturally. Because in today's society no one should be held acceptable for their own stupidity!

Our Fire Department put on a demo showing the wrong way to fry a turkey. I was amazed. You could get seriously burned.

I just made my beautiful wife the national favorite leftover. The open face sandwich, heated with mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing and turkey. She loved it and devoured the whole thing. She is beginning to like our simple foods a lot.

I'll be honest...I'm not a big fan of Turkey.  THOUGH, my mom made the best turkey I have ever eaten this year!  She did her typical method of applying a flour and butter paste to the outside and starting off at 500 degrees and eventually cooling the oven down to 350...this year she added a twist...she used the convection setting on my oven.   It did the trick!  The skin was like it was fried and the meat was melt in our mouth juicy.
