I have roasted.
I have brined.
I have steamed.
I have BBQed.
And I have deep fried.
And by the way I have done several of them at the same time to compare (I
used to write a food column).
Deep Frying is the best on so many different levels.
First - It totally frees up your oven.
Second - It is quick. LIKE REALLY QUICK!
Third - It is almost as juicy as a brined bird but without the weird
texture.
Fourth - Way more crispy skin.
Fifth - It isn't oily at all.
Down side - No drippings for gravy and the stuffing is pretty oily :) No
really don't do the stuffing in the bird if you are going to deep fry it was
a joke!
We usually do a bird for Thanksgiving and save the oil for the weekend when
we do a big fish fry.
I usually do not fry it with the Cajun spices.
We roasted one for Canadian Thanksgiving this year and I have to say I was
longing for my deep fried turkey! Can't wait for American Thanksgiving. The
good thing about bi-national living arrangements is that you get turkey
every month from Oct. to Dec.
