There IS NO acceptable turkey gravy other than that made from dripping
from ROASTING a turkey.

Fried turkey should not be served with dressing & mashed potatoes, and
serving on Thanksgiving is crappy.

How many deep fried turkeys have you actually eaten?
The ones I've had have all been quite delicious.
The dressing was served out of the casserole dish it was baked in, just
like many would do when roasting a bird in the oven.

Several. They were all good. Only once did I have one on
Thanksgiving. A relative thought it was clever to do the turkey that
way. They served ****ing jarred Heinz "gravy" with it. It was
thoroughly White trash. I'll never have Thanksgiving over there
again. Serving a fried turkey on Thanksgiving is a goofy, macho-
redneck thing to do.

A traditional Thanksgiving feast is the best America has to offer; a
nicely roasted turkey, sage-onion stuffing INSIDE, mashed potatoes,
REAL turkey gravy, scratch-made cranberry sauce, a few other
appropriate sides is the one thing I'd want to serve to one of my
English friends, were one to visit the USA/St. Louis.

I don't like turkey so I thought maybe I'd like them better fried.
Nope. Everyone else says their good, but I still don't like them.
And the freekin oil costs as much as the bird.

Thankfully peanut oil is bountiful and fairly inexpensive down in Georgia.

I'd like that very much for other cooking. The only way it's even
close to reasonable is in the huge jugs at Costco.

Thanks for the tip. Around here we have Dick's and Gander Mountain.
I don't like turkey, but I sure do like making my guests happy.

Watch out for small printing on the label noting that there is just a
little peanut oil blended with a lot of other cheaper oil. I was
basically on a treasure hunt last year to find it and everyone had the
blended stuff. I finally found peanut oil in carboys at a wholesale only
food service place.

i pay about $3.89 for a quart bottle (store brand) in maryland, more
than for corn and much more than for 'vegetable.' it never seems to
go on sale, either.

These are all owned by Supervalu, and Shop 'n Save has gallons for
about $10, and sometimes as cheap as $7.97/gal.

Difficult to find in PA. Typically the stuff you find is marked "peanut
oil" but it is that blended stuff.

IMO, a fried turkey tastes good, only if the turkey has been brined,
then injected with a stick of butter and some seasonings.

A plain, roasted turkey is a lot easier.
