I really hope after deep frying the turkey that Teef didn’t try to deep fry Twinkies and ice cream in the same oil. ? That might explain his absence. 1

Inquiring minds want to know.....or not, but I am curious. that sucker was a hit! very easy as everyone mentioned. i did a garlic sriracha rub and ended up cooking it perfectly. i really only made one mistake. i did a water displacement test with the turkey, and indicated where the oil needed to be. now the pot already had a max/min fill line...there should be no thought. just fill to the line. well, my make was slightly over the line, (maybe by about an inch to inch and a half). since i know better than the company that made the fryer, i filled it above the line a bit. of course oil went everywhere, but tarps were down and not permanent mess made. thanks everyone for the input. it came out so great and was easy enough, that i may make another depending how the bills playoffs scenario works out. 3

Do oil displacement instead. It's what I did.

Um, based on the scientific fact of "team wins, duplicate what you did previous week," you're going to be VERY busy with turkeys through February........

I dont think that would work well. Best case, the stuffing would fry much faster than the bird and you'd end up with burnt/overcooked stuffing. Worst case, you ruin the whole thing since the hot oil isnt getting inside the bird so the outside is cooking much faster than the inside, and you end up with a turkey that is overcooked outside but raw in the middle..
