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.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor. Sourdough...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails.
