Yeah..you know I used to start sweating all the details about big meals days in advance....

Not today..Just turkey and taters...easy.

I havent used the new fryer for anything except test driving some potato chips.

Sliced the tater with the worlds largest slicer...

Blanched at 225 for a few minutes then cooked at 375..

The thing seems to work just fine...

Those are nice....can't beat home made..
 
Yea fried turkey is good. One of these days I am going to try a smoked then deep fried turkey. I have been thinking about it for a few years now. I seem to remember someone doing one and they said it was awesome. But then again how couldn't it be awesome as you have the best of both worlds "Fried and Smoked".


I'm trying that today. I brined it overnight and will smoke it up to about 100* then finish it off in the fryer. I'll post photos - probably tomorrow though. (grin)
 
Smoked turkey out at 175.

Juicy and crisp!!!!

Well..leftovers are now finished...  whew..

 We have been eating them for days..

Chopped up the last of it and added it to a pan of Rice A Roni.

We have a few pounds of the smoked vac bagged in the freezer.
