We have enough visitors to the new house this year that I am doing 2 20lb turkeys. One roasted and one fried. Plus I am also making a big pot of collards tonight and 2 gallons of my famous sweet potato andouille sausage soup. Tomorrow in addition to the birds, I have to make 10lbs of Yukon gold mashed, a quart of giblet gravy and grill roast 15 corn on the cobs. Friday I will be hibernating and converting fodder to waste matter. Oh yeah I am also baking a fresh loaf of bread...
Two 20 pounders Hoss? Which tub are you using?
Next thing ya know, Dio is going to get on here.
I have had them thawing in the fridges for 3 days.
Now why didn't I think of that.........
Which turkey do you prefer, hoss? Fried or roasted? I had some fried turkey at a wedding reception once and it was pretty good.
Well roasted is delicious of course. But fried is the bomb diggity!! It's a bit of expense to do it, but damn it's yummy. I make up a butter cajun marinade and inject into the breasts and thighs before frying it. It leaches out a bit during frying and seasons the bird externally, but it also keeps the meat super moist and tender. Also frying a 20lb bird takes about an hour whereas roasting is about a 3.5 hours process.
All jokes about breast injections aside.............
I was very surprised at how moist it was when it came out. I'm going to have to try this at some point. That marinade sounds very good!
Oh and you better save me some leftovers, hoss. If we get as much snow as they are forecasting you might find me knocking on your door....
Love the deep-fried turkey. Don't love paying more for the oil than we do for the bird.
We're going with the new conventional wisdom (yes, that's an oxymoron, just like "new and improved") and cooking it upside down for the first hour or so. Then we'll right it, stuff it, and pop it back in. (By "we," I mean "I.") We'll (I'll) have stuffing enhanced with spicy sausage, celery, onion, and mushroom. And I stopped at my favorite spices store and got a poultry blend that I think will be wonderful on the bird.
We gots lotsa other stuff going on too. The house is gonna smell great.
