Turkey Fry

Our first turkey fry was held this past Sunday. Though we weren't totally blind going into this event, we did not have any first hand experience either. But with some strong hands, Internet research, and a couple fire extinguishers, it was no problem for this duo.

Injecting the 18.38lb turkey with a Cajun marinade.

Dropping the turkey into 14 liters of boiling peanut oil.

Maintaining that temperature. Only needing to cook 4 minutes per pound.

While the bird is cooking, let the party continue.
Pinata time!

The heavy hit that brought out the candy.
About an hour later - we're fried. Let's eat! Many stuffed bellies . . . who's ready for dessert?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Thanksgiving to you! We did fried turkeys all the time in Minnesota, but we didn't add the Cajun! Your day certainly looked like fun!

BTW- CONGRATULATIONS!
