Couldn't get a turkey pic though I've seen some huge ones recently, but this guy flew into my sons picture window today, he yelled down that a hawk flew into his window and was laying on the driveway, knocked him silly but by the time I grabbed the camera he got up onto a low branch.

Looking really good, Bird. We tried to do the turkey on a spit by the fire but the bird turned out to be too heavy for the motor. I have to look into it and build something bigger for the next time. Let's say steam engine providing the power to turn the spit?

I'll second the tasty looking bird Bird ! I have yet to try a deep fried turkey - considering where I live it's surprising they have any other method of fixin' um' here.

I wasn't paying as much attention to detail with my photography as I should have been. My picture makes that turkey look too red instead of more of a brown color.
The first time I ever heard of frying a whole turkey, I thought that just couldn't be any good, but then I had to try it to find out for myself. Of course I thought the same thing the first time I ever heard of "blackened" fish. But I learned that I'm very fond of both fried turkeys and blackened fish.
Frying the turkeys is easy. It's the cleaning up afterwards that's the most work. When that peanut oil cools a bit, I strain it through cheesecloth back into the bottles and put them in the refrigerator in the shop until next time, but dispose of the oil after about 6 turkeys or 3 months; whichever comes first.
And as usual, we had 16 for dinner and enough food for at least twice that many people.

Bird, I think next year we will have a stipulation for everyone that comes. It will be that none of them can refuse to take leftovers home with them. Gosh! We have tons of food left over and it's only Kathy and me to eat it all. Perhaps our neighbor who has deer hunters coming this weekend can use some extra "grub."

Jim, we did that this year. I had carried along an extra box of ziplock bags and our daughter said she'd been saving Cool Whip and margarine containers so everyone had carry several home with them. And I was trying (unsuccessfully) to get Margaret to NOT bring any home with us.
