First time i heard about a "Deep fried turkey", i was thinking "is everything freakin fried now?" Then i had one, and holy crap! It was the best turkey i ever had! It's the only way i do em now!
Right now were gonna smoke ours but the wife kinda wants to deep fry it also. I don't do the november bird, the aunt does that one. I'm gonna do the christmas one.
Smoking one on the backyard smoker as we do every year. A little hickory wood and a few hours and you have the best tasting turkey around. A little story...one year at our Troop dinner I was asked to bring a turkey. Others were as well. I smoked mine and two other showed up fried and one cooked in the oven. Mine was gone first and people were asking if there was more. Only one of the fried had been gotten into and it was only about a third gone. Smoked was a big hit.
