Deep Fried Turkey...

Im cooking two turkeys on Thanksgiving. One o fthem will either be fried or smoked....I havent decided which yet.

I was looking the other day and it seems that peanut oil prices have gone through the roof.
 
At least in Texas, dinner is lunch and supper is the evening meal. In answer the original question yes fried turkey all the way, we never bake them anymore. I have a nice electric fryer that makes it real easy.
 
We always Deep Fry a turkey for Canadian Thanksgiving in October, and then use the oven for American Thanksgiving in November.
 
I love deep fried turkey, but I don't have a deep fryer anyone, going to have to get one.
 
Ha! At least in my family (and others) "dinner" could be referring to the mid-day meal or evening meal. For clarity, "supper" always refers to the evening meal. I'm sure there are variations on this theme according to your region.

That's how I use the terms. Due to the confusion, I hate the word "dinner."

Exactly. Hence the reason I use the words "lunch" and "supper". And for those that think this is much ado about nothing, I am aware of at least one time in which the word dinner resulted in someone showing up too early due to their definition of the word "dinner".

Here's my father-in-law frying Thanksgiving turkey last year:

deep fried

and to quote Red Green when talking about people gaining weight

"There are 3 meals of the day. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. Now you may call Dinner Supper but its an "either or" option here not both" ;)

Yikes! That fryer's awfully close to that deck railing. I'm sure your father-in-law is careful, but just so everyone knows, these things can be a fire hazard. Take proper precautions in being extra careful.
 
Im sure the Food Network lawyers made him do it, but Alton Brown's turkey frying technique is hilarious.
