For many years I've been "brining" my turkey, or soaking it for a couple days in saltwater. I always start cooking the turkey, per normal instructions, early in the morning, but it's always done way before our midday meal. A turkey cooks much faster by the method and turns out tasty and moist, not salty like I might have expected.<br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-8460779292217945332009-11-27T04:21:43.815-08:002009-11-27T04:21:43.815-08:00I love my oven roasted turkey - not much that'...I love my oven roasted turkey - not much that's better than that!<br /><br />I have eaten deep fried turkey - while camping. Friends have a deep fryer. It hardly takes any time at all - tastes ok too.Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-30404566306455671252009-11-26T19:34:41.015-08:002009-11-26T19:34:41.015-08:00White Dove:

It was done in a Weber. Do you have those in the States? It's a big round BBQ covered by a high domed lid. The bird sits on an open grill & underneath are the glowing coals...(you can add eucalyptus leaves if you're in OZ, or hickory if in the USofA to get that smokey taste). Roast covered, adding all your veggies wrapped in alfoil about an hour before the bird is done. It's delish...a crispy golden bronze with lovely chunks of roasted vegetables to accompany, except for the sweet potato which is mashed and of course the greens. Hope you had a Happy Day !White Dovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534048060329465218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-46263824082817485532009-11-26T15:32:36.210-08:002009-11-26T15:32:36.210-08:00Simon

I don't have any experience with using one.<br /><br /><br />Judy,<br />I keep hearing how moist and delicious deep fried turkeys are. I just picture a huge fryer filled with a lot of oil needed to cook a 15 or 20 lb turkey. Hopefully I get invited to someone's house sometime who's an experienced turkey frier.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-22402815056452191212009-11-26T15:06:38.284-08:002009-11-26T15:06:38.284-08:00You gotta try the deep fried.

The time is the big factor. I had the deep fried at work for the employee luncheon and oven cooked today. When you pull the fried skin off the turkey, it's moist and doesn't taste greasy! Rent one and give it a try!JudyH329https://www.blogger.com/profile/04169383110345540966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-28696113473193675702009-11-26T06:07:57.515-08:002009-11-26T06:07:57.515-08:00I used to work the early shift at a hotel, so was ...I used to work the early shift at a hotel, so was home by 10 am or so. I was supposed to put the turkey in the oven, but fell asleep on the couch, and when my parents got home the turkey should have been in the oven for 2 or 3 hours by then.<br /><br />What saved us? Convection oven. Cooked it in half the time. Thanksgiving saved. Win!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
