Master Built Electric Turkey Fryer

Thanksgiving wouldn't be Thanksgiving without having a turkey. I love turkey as much as the next individual, however sometimes the Thanksgiving turkey can get somewhat bland. In my family, we actually like to mix things up a little. Heck sometimes we'll as well miss the turkey in favor of something a bit less traditional like ribs or prime rib. However for those of you who would like the traditional Thanksgiving Turkey there're many ways to prepare a turkey (including smoking your turkey, cooking your turkey in a turkey fryer, etc.). Here are 5 different ways to cook turkey that are a little bit different than normal, however just as tasty.

Roasted Turkey - First, I simply have to add Grandma's favorite roasted turkey. After all, what would Thanksgiving be without having Grandma's roasted turkey and home made mashed potatoes? This roasted turkey is the simplest turkey recipe you'll get. Basically, you take out the giblets and rinse the turkey in cold water. Pat the turkey dry then insert three Tbsp of butter under the skin. Prepare a soup made of water, chicken bouillon, onion powder, parsley, table salt and pepper. Pour the broth directly on the turkey, cover with foil and bake for 3 1/2 hours at 350. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes more for a golden brown skin. Serve with home made mashed potatoes, gravy, as well as your favorite Thanksgiving dishes!

Barbeque Turkey - We love to grill and grill throughout the year, no matter what the weather. We put everything else on the grill, why not a turkey too? Grilling a turkey gives it a special taste and texture that you just can't get from an oven. When barbecuing a turkey, put the turkey in a baking pan over the flames; in this way you can baste the turkey periodically just like you would do if you were roasting it.

Deep fried Turkey - People who love crisp turkey skin will LOVE deep fried turkeys. A deep fried turkey is yummy and using a turkey fryer to cook turkeys is becoming a lot more popular, especially now that the turkey fryer is becoming a common kitchen appliance. While most turkey fryers are deep fryers in which you use peanut oil in a huge frying pot, there are also oil-less infrared turkey fryers too, that eliminate a lot of the mess of frying. Deep fried turkeys tend to have dark crispy skin (which my family fights over!), and underneath that delicious skin is soft, perfectly cooked meat that all your family will love.

Turducken - This odd sounding turkey is actually a combination of various de-boned fowl: turkey, duck, and chicken. They all are put together and layered with filling to create this newest addition to the Thanksgiving table.

Smoked Turkey - One amongst my favorite methods of cooking turkey is smoking it. I just love the flavor of a smoked turkey, together at Thanksgiving dinner as well as for those wonderful leftover turkey sandwiches. Smoking a turkey takes several hours, but it can be soooo worth it! One tip while smoking a turkey - placing a pan of water on the smoker will help hold in moisture and create a moist, juicy turkey that everybody will enjoy.

How will you make your Thanksgiving Turkey this year? At our house we will be using our brand new masterbuilt electric turkey fryer. My husband and his sister fight over the crispy skin, that is always a joy to watch :) Hopefully you found some new and tasty methods to cook your turkey this holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!
