Hey Bird the Birds were a great price. LOL!
I buy a few every season and sponsor a Turkey drive as well. That is the lowest I have seen. I put it off until the end of the day and missed out on the .40 per lb and recieved the butter ball for .69 per lb. not bad either and there were others for .98 .
If you see them you better get them. I love to Fry or Rotisserie mine as well.

I'll be frying turkeys for Thanksgiving, and probably Christmas, too. But I don't have a rotisserie anymore.

Bird,
what kind of oil do you use?? I had a friend that tried peanut oil and it didn't taste good (to me) maybe if your frying bananas...

I use LouAna pure peanut oil from Walmart or Sam's Club. I'm not sure what your friend used, but even Planters makes a peanut oil blend with vegetable oil included. We also use the LouAna peanut oil for frying fish, even if it's just a couple of fillets in the skillet in the house for the two of us. I don't think I've heard from anyone else who didn't like turkeys fried in peanut oil. Of course the flavor can be changed a bit with different marinades. I've fried turkeys with no other seasoning at all, but I usually use an injectable marinade in them.

We cook our turkey on the BBQ. Man there isn't anything like it.
Set a big pan out and put a grill in the bottom so the turkey won't stick. Wash the turkey, rub it all over in olive oil and apply salt and pepper. Stuff or not stuff, whatever you prefer. Put the turkey in the pan and put in a box or two of chicken broth and a half bottle of white wine. Cut some onions, garlic, parsnips, celery, carrots into the broth. Cook the turkey on high heat for a half hour to brown it a bit, then cover it with a tightly sealed foil tent (foil can't touch the bird or it will stick - use toothpics poked into the bird in spots if you have to to back off the foil). Cook the bird, checking the broth / wine mix occasionally, basing a couple of times and adding more broth and wine if it gets low. (For a 30lb turkey I used 4 boxes of broth and 2+ bottles of wine once).
You'll not only have a tasty tender bird that is moist, you will have a broth reduction that makes awesome gravy.
Mmmmmmmmmm,,,,turkey....

I'm with you Dave. You know when the turkey is done as you grab a drumstick and the bone comes off into your hand and all the meat basically falls off the bone.
Ya baby!
