Anyone deep frying their turkey?

How much oil do you need, and where can you buy so much peanut oil, for example?

Any self-respecting store sells Lou Anna Peanut oil in 5 gallon containers.

I stopped deep frying the turkey - the turkey costs $10 the oil costs $40, I always say I will reuse the oil for something else but never do.

Where the hell do you get a $10 turkey?

My smoked turkey came out great - everyone loved it. On any other day it would be the turkey of choice. Everyone said they preferred the traditional turkey for today. By the way, I only use fresh turkeys and brine the snot out of them. The baked turkey was super moist and flavorful. Preparation (ie. brining) is key.

Going forward, smoked turkeys will be for days other than Thanksgiving and traditional turkeys will be the standard for Thanksgiving.

Shut up August.

Brined a 15 pounder overnight, spatchcocked and coated lightly with Kerrigold butter, and threw it on the Traeger for 90 minutes at 350. Won't do it any differently next year.

I’ve seen some pretty big pigeons in NYC but can’t say I’ve ever seen a 20-pounder.
