All you deep friers make me jealous. I've never had it this way.

You can get a turkey fryer at Walmart for the price of $45. I've not seen them cheaper anywhere else.

Like this

Couldn't help it.

Seriously, we plan to have an open fire pit and slow roast the bird, weather permitting. If not it will be the oven this year.

The state agency I work for specifically states that I am not to deep fry my turkey....

Also, if I have a party, I need to "provide non-alcoholic drinks for designated drivers and other guests." (Sure, alcoholic drinks to DDs kinda defeats the purpose - no spiking the punch..)

Seriously, it's part of our quarterly safety training.

Deep fried. It's the American Way.

What kind of batter do you use?

traditional oven roasted ... always comes out great!!
along with a baked ham... hmmmmmm..

all you folks that fry your turkey.... question... what do you do with all that grease left over? sounds good... but it is worth it?

got a turkey fryer outside, but have never used it.
mainly due to not wanting to deal with all that left over grease...

Cooking oil makes great fuel for my truck, thats where mine would go.

As soon as I finish frying my turkey I throw a potato that was cut in half and let it cook for a bit (this refreshes the oil) then let it cool. I then pour the oil in smaller containers and keep some out and then freeze the rest and use it through out the year. It can replace your cooking oil in the kitchen and save you some money. Ill also put it in my smaller fry daddy.
