Why Not BBQ This Year’s Thanksgiving Turkey
In case it slipped your mind, November 26th is Thanksgiving Day here the the U.S. - a holiday marked by the consumption of seasonal delights, harvest celebrations and good 'ol American football. There is also, of course, plenty of turkey.
While traditionalists prefer to roast the turkey, more people are taking this holiday classic to a whole new level. In fact, it may even be a safe option to chop up the turkey and throw it on the BBQ, rather than some of the other cooking options.
This year, more guidelines and precautions have been released for those inspired to deep fry their turkey - at home. For instance, the turkey daredevils should be sure to defrost their turkey before tossing it in the hot oil. The frying receptacle should also be positioned on a stable, flat surface in case the oil splashes out once the turkey starts to bubble.
The oil also can't get too hot - above 390 degrees Farenheit - as there's always the risk of fire when deep frying your bird. For a safer, less stressful option, try your turkey BBQ style and amaze all those who gather at your home this Thanksgiving Day.
