Deep Frying a turkey question

Do NOT overfill the pot! This can't be stressed enough. It's better to underfill and have to add oil in afterwards then to have too much.

And when you gently place the turkey in, the oil will rise higher than you would think as the steam created will increase the volume of the oil.

If you've never done this, be careful. We do two to three turkeys a year in the fryer. Do it outside on a level driveway with no overhanging branches. Have a fire extinguisher near by. Keep kids way, way out of the area. And give plenty of time for cool down of both the bird and oil once you are done cooking. Measure doneness with a probe thermometer in the thigh of the bird, make sure not to touch the bone with the thermometer.

Oh and last thing... make sure you didn't leave the giblets bag in the turkey.

Takes a good 30 minutes to get your oil up to temp. I usually go about 25-50 degrees higher as the oil will drop fast once you put the bird in.

Best way to fill the pot is put the turkey in then fill it up with water until the bird is covered. Take the bird out and mark where the water is. This is how much oil you should put in the pot. You should have minimal oil spitting out once you drop the turkey in. Go slow when putting the turkey in. If you drop it in at once you will create a volcano effect and oil will shoot out straight up though the neck.

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
