Southern Deep Fried Turkey Recipe

Southern Deep Fried Turkey Recipe may sound strange, but it comes out a beautiful golden brown, very moist and tender.  You may just surprise yourself.

INGREDIENT:

• 10 to 12 lb. Whole Turkey (nonself-basting)
• 1/3 Cup Dry Sherry
• 2/3 Cup Vinaigrette
• 1 tsp. Onion Powder
• 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
• 2 tsp. Lemon Pepper Seasoning Salt
• Peanut Oil, as needed
• Injection syringe
• Outdoor Gas Burner
• 7-10 Gallon Pot, with a basket
• Deep Fry Thermometer

Directions:

1. Remove the giblets and neck, rinse the turkey well with cold water and dry with paper towels.  Make sure to dry the inside cavities.
2. Then cut the wing tips and tail off, they tend to get stuck in the fryer.
3. In a bowl, mix the dry sherry, vinaigrette, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and lemon pepper seasoning salt together.  Strain the marinade and place it in an injection syringe.  Inject the marinade in the turkey legs, thighs, and breast.
4. Then place the bird in a large plastic bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.  Flip the bag and massage the turkey from time to time.
5. Drain the turkey of a marinade and place the turkey in the fryer basket or on a rack, neck down.
6. The outdoor gas burner should be placed on a level grassy or dirt area.  Grease fires are highly flammable, so make sure there’s a fire extinguisher nearby.  Also, never place the fryer indoors, in a garage, on a deck, and off the concrete.  Keep away from all structures. 
7. Start to heat the oil in the pot, at the medium-high setting, until it registers 375 degrees F.  This usually takes about 40 to 50 minutes.  Slowly lower turkey into the hot oil, with a partner.  It’s smart to wear oven mitts/gloves, long sleeves, heavy-duty shoes, and even glasses; you don’t want to be burned by the oil.
8. Check the oil temperature and make sure it’s maintained at 350 degrees F if it drops below 340, the oil seeps into the turkey.
9. The rule is to fry for about 3 to 4 minutes per pound of turkey.  A 10 to 12-pound turkey usually takes about 35 to 42 minutes.  Never leave the cooker, the oil temperature must be maintained.
10. The bird should be cooked to 170 degrees F in the breast.  When it’s done carefully remove the turkey from the oil, letting it drain for a few minutes.  (Make sure oil is completely cool before disposing of)
11. Remove the turkey from the rack and set on a serving platter, cooling for 20 minutes before carving.

Put turkey on the rack in a roasting pan.  Roast the turkey, rotating the pan 180 degrees halfway through the time.  When the thermometer inserted into the fleshy part of each thigh (just before touching the bone) registers at 170 degrees F, take out the turkey.  This is usually somewhere between 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 hours.
4. Carefully drain the turkey, letting the turkey juices from the cavity drain in the roasting pan.  (If you’re going to make a gravy, you need to save this juice).  Then you can transfer the turkey to a serving platter, wait 30 minutes before serving.  Make sure to cut apart the legs before serving.

Healthy Thanksgiving Dinner Cupcake Ideas

Healthy Thanksgiving Dinner Cupcake Ideas - The very first Thanksgiving celebrated between your British and also the Indigenous Peoples comprised mainly of deer, corn and seafood. The majority of the meals we get your meals at Thanksgiving today weren’t available then, particularly the well known dessert course. Using frosting methods, designing Thanksgiving cookies is really a creative method to complement the primary feast.

Easy Cake toppers

Children love helping in the kitchen area, as well as the youngest assistant could make great searching cookies with simple cupcake cake toppers. Frost cookies having a layer associated with a flavor of frosting, then place mellow creme pumpkins or any other store-bought sugar cake toppers in the center of the cupcake for any simple, festive look. For simple poultry cookies, frost the cookies with chocolate frosting and pipe a blob of frosting close to the edge for that turkey’s mind. Give a chocolate corn beak and many chocolate corn pieces for that tail. Place sugar eyes — offered at craft stores within the cake-designing aisle — to accomplish the poultry.

Cornucopias and Pilgrim Hats

Make cookies decorated with traditional Thanksgiving symbols. To create a cornucopia cupcake, frost the the cupcake and put a Bugle corn snack on top for that “horn.” Use Runts chocolate (or any small candies formed like fruit) for that fruit “plenty.” On the different frosted cupcake, develop a Pilgrim’s hat using any round, chocolate cookie for that base along with a miniature peanut butter cup for the top hat. For that hat band, cut a skinny strip of the fruit roll-up and wrap it around the bottom of the peanut butter cup. Pipe yellow frosting around the band the same shape as a buckle.

Roasting Poultry

Recreate the feel of the primary Thanksgiving meal with cookies. Karen Tack has perfected a roasting poultry cupcake in her own book “What’s New, Cupcake?” To recreate the appearance, shape folded out chocolate caramel sheets around a mound of frosting around the cupcake to appear such as the turkey’s body. Leave a dent in your body to permit a few of the frosting to become uncovered. Press nugget-type cereal into this frosting to really make it seem like stuffing. Use two damaged Pringles wheat stays wrapped having a small part of caramel to assimilate legs. Moisten the legs and adhere these to your body. Pipe whitened frosting around the finishes from the wheat stays so that they resemble leg bones.

Cupcake Cake

Rather than designing individual cookies, arrange many cookies into one large shape and decorate them in general. Arrange the cookies inside a circle and only frost them in vibrant orange, or like a lattice-capped cake. Give a cupcake to the peak (in which a stem would seem) towards the circle to produce a pumpkin. Cookies may also be situated the same shape as a cornucopia, poultry or any Thanksgiving icon. Cupcake cakes are less labor-intensive than individual cookies but they keep the simplicity of single-serve portions that cookies offer.

Enjoy Healthy Thanksgiving Dinner with Traditional Thanksgiving Dishes Veggie

Increasing numbers of people nowadays are embracing a vegetarian lifestyle. This is often a problem when Thanksgiving comes around, because what’s this holiday with no poultry? These Traditional Thanksgiving Dishes Veggie ideas will enable individuals that like to refrain from eating meat to savor the meal and remain in keeping with their convictions.

Before beginning attempting to think about vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner ideas, you should understand what meals your guest does not eat. Many people will not eat flesh of the animal however they will eat eggs or milk products. Others will not eat everything from a pet. By discovering what your guest will eat, you will have a better concept of what dishes you are able to get ready for them.

Despite what some may think, many vegetarians do benefit from the tastes of poultry and dressing – they just don’t wish to eat flesh any more. One option to poultry you might want to consider for vegetarian family people is Tofurky. What’s Tofurky? It’s a poultry alternative produced from tofu and wheat protein. It may be prepared exactly the same as poultry and it is stated to taste much the same. Should you cannot find the Tofurky brand, you will find other brands that have comparable products.

Traditional Thanksgiving Dishes Vegetarians Love

An alternate entire for vegetarians might be a stuffed acorn squash. Grow it with wild grain and cranberry pilaf which is much like traditional stuffing only more gratifying. Lentil grain loaf could be an alternative choice if you cannot find or make Tofurky.

It is a good chance you will have some dishes a vegetarian could be comfortable eating even when you cannot locate an alternative for poultry. Here are a few traditional Thanksgiving dishes you might be likely to prepare which may be appropriate for individuals that do not eat meat:

1. A sizable thrown salad could be appreciated. Instead of getting basically lettuce and tomato, why don’t you add broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber along with other veggies? You may also add fresh pineapple or apples, pumpkin or sunflower seed products, and olives to really make it filled with vegetarian goodness.

2. Mashed taters might be something a vegetarian would eat unless of course they do not eat butter. Within this situation, you could utilize a vegetable bouillon cube to moisten the taters.

3. Candied sweet taters could be another vegetable dish you can serve.

4. Cranberry sauce is really a side dish lots of people connect with Thanksgiving. Intend on getting both jellied and whole berry cranberry sauce available.

5. Fresh baked comes are usually another thing vegetarians will love.

If you are concerned that vegetarians attending your Thanksgiving dinner will not have sufficient food to select from, request these to bring a dish to talk about. You may also request these to arrive early to allow them to demonstrate steps to make a vegetarian dish. This is why to make sure any vegetarian attending may have plenty to consume.

Whenever you request somebody that is really a vegetarian to become listed on you for Thanksgiving, you would like to be certain to supply enough to allow them to eat. Traditional Thanksgiving Dishes Veggie aren’t difficult, however they do have a different mindset. If you are unsure, the simplest factor to complete is request a vegetarian what meals they’ll eat or the things they may bring to talk about. Then you will know everybody who joins you’ll be a lot more than satisfied following the dinner has ended.
