Traditions
The one tradition my husband and I look forward to every thanksgiving is deep-frying the turkey. The reason we look forward to it is because it was the only thing that we could agree on to cook during our first thanksgiving. To us it is a symbol of how we have built our family and came together as one. The way we do it is I defrost it because my husband is very forgetful and tends to leave ice on it and I always seasoning it because my husband thinks I am better at then him. Then he deep-fries it because I think he is better for the job and besides he always worried that I am going to get hurt. Once the turkey is done, which is usually about two or three hours later, we sit down and enjoy some traditional food from both sides of the family. Which is hard to compromise on what to eat because neither of us really likes what the other usually eats expect for the turkey.

I've never had a turkey deep fried, but it sounds like it would be delicious that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI think I would be scared to deep fry a turkey only because I have seen all of those bad accidents with those giant fryers and what not.I'm assuming a majority of those fryer accidents were because the people put way too much oil in them so when they added the turkey the oil over flowed and hit the flame and it blew up.
Either way, all I know is I have always wanted to try a turkey deep fried because I have never had it before.
