In the Christmas-vein I've been doing some last minute e-shopping and ran across this neat little contraption- an indoor turkey fryer.
My big issue with thanksgiving through the years has been dry turkey. I bury it in gravy to fix that problem, and then a few years ago I had a fried turkey. I went into it thinking that it'd be really greasy and nasty, but such isn't the case at all. The heat from the peanut oil sears the skin, and keeps in the taste and juices for the best turkey ever.
Well, I was hooked... and any time the subject of turkey comes up, I'm hoping for fried turkey. Problem is, it is not an indoor sport, and this time of year can make it so frying turkey outside isn't the most enjoyable of experiences
Here's a couple of videos of how-not-to fry a turkey.
This can happen if you put in too much oil. Conversely, too little oil and the whole bird doesn't get cooked. Needless to say, you don't want this in your house.
So, I was psyched when I found an indoor turkey fryer, for not all that much more coin than a decent outdoor one.
Built by mastercraft, sanctioned by Butterball, no more dry baked turkey ever!
