OK, they are selling turkey fryers all over the place it seems.  Is it a good idea to fry a turkey?  Anyone have experience good or bad in turkey frying?  Is it really much faster than oven baking/roasting?  Do you still stuff a turkey that is going to be fried?  Just looking for tips as I am thinking of getting a turkey fryer and trying it out.  They seem to be selling them everywhere this year.  Lowes, Aldi's prolly other places too.  Thanks for any advice. :)

Just a word of advice - no matter how bad the weather is - don't fry a turkey just inside the doors of your walk out basement. Someone here did that and burned down a $2 million house.

We like to get a smoked turkey from a local place.

Fried turkey is really good, you just add the turkey, no stuffing.  Make it safety first, and do your research beforehand.

Biggest downsides--the oil is expensive...then what do you do with it when the turkey is done?

they  do  make  an electric  turkey  fryer   which we  have  &  love  it.....so we  usually  do 1  roasted turkey  traditional style. Then  do  1  either  fried  or  smoked  in a  smoker... a  smoked  turkey  tastes   more like  ham!!! 

We  make the  stuffing  in a  separate pan... also  when you fry  a  turkey  you  don't get  the  goodies  for gravy....

Our local Kroger's sells smoked turkeys Karen, so that is an option.  Don't have to worry about burning down a $ 2million buck house here tho.  But doing the frying outside on the cement seems like a good idea.  Sure will get the cat posse interested in a hurry.  Thanks!

Safety sounds like a good idear to me Laura.  Stuffing separate, check!  Thanks for the affirmation!

Hmm, make turkey flavored donuts? Heck, I don't know what to do with it.  Good question though SMRI, thanks!

Wow, smoked turkey seems like it would take a long time.  Maybe not though.  Dang, something else to try!  :)  Thanks for the idea as it does sound interesting.  So you are a 2 turkey household!  Sounds real good on the electric fryer.  :)

We have deep fried a turkey before! It was really yummy! Very tender and juicy. Of course pre- Celiac but #1 tip don't use any other oil but what they recommend ! #2 look at the ingredients in the oil , After DX'd We went searching out oil and all they had was Peanut/soy oil Pfft! I am soy intolerant and was afraid to eat anything cooked in it. Anyhow I recommend deep frying a turkey.

Good to hear Waitn4Dave!  I'd rather avoid the soy oil too.  I'll have to find something without it.  Fried chicken doesn't sound too bad as something to use the fryer for later.  Yummy sounds good to me!

Another good way to make a turkey is to brine it. I'm sure there are recipes for that on the internet. I had it done that way at a friend's house one year and it was good.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful).

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
