Turkey Fryer
Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a turkey. I love turkey as much as the other person, however at times the Thanksgiving turkey can get somewhat bland. In my family, we like to mix things up a little bit. Heck at times we'll even miss the turkey in preference of something a bit less traditional like ribs or prime rib. But for those of you who want the conventional Thanksgiving Turkey there are many ways to cook a turkey (including smoking your turkey, cooking your turkey in a turkey fryer, etc.). Here are 5 different methods to prepare turkey that are a bit unlike the norm, however equally tasty.
Roasted Turkey - First, I simply have to include Grandma's favorite roasted turkey. After all, what exactly would Thanksgiving be without Grandma's roasted turkey and home made mashed potatoes? This specific roasted turkey is the simplest turkey recipe you'll get. Basically, you remove the giblets and rinse the turkey in cold water. Pat the turkey dry then put 3 Tbsp of butter under the skin. Prepare a soup made from water, chicken bouillon, onion powder, parsley, table salt and pepper. Pour the broth directly over the turkey, cover with foil and bake for 3 1/2 hours at 350. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes more for a golden brown skin. Serve along with homemade mashed potatoes, gravy, as well as your favourite Thanksgiving dishes!
Barbeque Turkey - We love to grill and grill all year long, no matter what the weather. We put many other things on the grill, why not a turkey too? Grilling a turkey gives it a unique taste and texture that you simply can't get from an oven. When barbecuing a turkey, put the turkey in a baking pan over the flames; this way you can baste the turkey periodically the same way you would do if you were roasting it.
Fried Turkey - People who really enjoy crisp turkey skin will LOVE deep fried turkeys. A deep fried turkey is mouth watering and using a turkey fryer to cook turkeys is becoming more and more popular, especially now that the turkey fryer is becoming a common kitchen appliance. While a lot of turkey fryers are deep fryers where you use peanut oil in a huge frying pot, you can also find oil-less infrared turkey fryers too, that eliminate a lot of the mess of frying. Fried turkeys tend to have dark crispy skin (which my family fights over!), and under that tasty skin is soft, properly cooked meat that all your family will love.
Turducken - This strange sounding turkey is actually a combination of different de-boned fowl: turkey, duck, and chicken. They are all put together and layered with filling to make this newest addition to the Thanksgiving table.
Smoked Turkey - One amongst my favorite ways of cooking turkey is smoking it. I just love the flavour of a smoked turkey, both at Thanksgiving dinner as well as for those excellent leftover turkey sandwiches. Smoking a turkey takes several hours, but it can be soooo worth it! One tip when smoking a turkey - placing a pan of water on the smoker will help hold in moisture and make a moist, juicy turkey that everyone will enjoy.
How will you make your Thanksgiving Turkey this year? At our home we will be using our brand new masterbuilt electric turkey fryer. My husband and his sister fight over the crispy skin, which is always a joy to watch :) I hope you found some new as well as tasty ways to cook your turkey this vacation. Happy Thanksgiving!
