The countdown has begun. We are now three days away from a
day filled of good food and family. I have to admit this will be my first time
hosting our family in our new home and cooking for more than five people. I
without a doubt am going to need some help and planning to make sure our turkey
day goes without any bumps in the road.
After researching (well Pinteresting) Thanksgiving, I have
compiled what I think will help me and others host a great Thanksgiving Day.
My husband has insisted on doing the Turkey this year. This
means we will be frying our Turkey in the driveway while the men do whatever it
is they do. Don’t turn up your nose just yet. We fried our Turkey last year and
I have to say I have never tasked a Turkey that was so moist and full of
flavor. The only draw back to frying a Turkey is that it has to be completely thawed
or it will blow up in the fryer, and I would really like it if that did not
happen! Here are the rules on how to defrost a turkey:
- Put turkey in fridge to thaw
- Put turkey on large tray to catch any juice
- Keep turkey in packaging
- It takes 24 Hours per 4-5 lbs of Turkey to thaw
