Smoked & Fried Turkey

[Gunny]

I wanted to try smoking a turkey for a few hours then finishing it in the fryer. Anybody ever tried that? That's what I was gonna try for Turkey day but right now my smoker is outa commission.

   Oh no - What happened to your smoker? Hopefully it's 'out of commission' just means it's full of other meats at the moment...

Zagz, I wish it were full! I have to replace the heating element and I don't think I'll be able to get a new one by Wednesday....  :(

There are several that have smoke a turkey either hot or cold smoked, and move it directly to a turkey fryer. It works well. There are mixed report on the finished color ranging from mahogany to black, but the reports on flavor are consistent -"Great".

Thanks Habanero..... the color is good "eye candy" but the taste is what I'm lookin for! I've  gotta try it, I've gotta mix the best of two worlds.... smoke n deep fried!!!
