Deep Fried Turkey





YEAH FOR THANKSGIVING!!! Now for a brief moment to toot our horns- with the help of Kelly, Ryan, and Lynn (Mike helped with the cutting/dicing) we pulled off an AMAZING Thanksgiving dinner. We had an entire spread of deep fried turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, candied yams, sweet potato casserole, pumpkin bread, rolls, green bean casserole, deviled eggs and carrots. That was only the beginning though because the dessert bar was even more than amazing- grasshopper pie, 2 pumpkin pies, apple cobbler and vanilla ice cream, homemade eggnog and chocolate pie. The even more incredible part was that we were able to do it all that morning and were only 25 minutes past the time that we had originally scheduled to eat! I was pretty proud to say the least- bring on Christmas dinner!
PS For those of you who haven't tried deep fried turkey- it's HEAVENLY!!! and only takes 45 minutes to cook, gotta love that.

That sounds like a lot of yummy food. I have never tried deep fried turkey but it sounds good, I will have to try it sometime. I am glad you had a great thanksgiving.

Craig was trying to convince his mom to deep fry the turkey this year. He claims that you will never have a more juicy turkey than if you deep fry it. I am glad that you were able to have a wonderful Thanksgiving. You are such a cute homemaker. Just a little while longer and then you'll be a mommy too!
