Re: Speaking of turkeys..

Yes I tried that matter a fact couple of weeks ago but not on a gas grill,for we cook the wild turkey over apple wood..sure tasted even better.

If I'm lucky enough this spring to harvest another turkey,I sure would like to fry it..for eveyone says its even better...oh this is making me hungry. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I think we're on the same frequency, Pete, where food's concerned./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I just finished stuffing myself tonight on my wife's homemade enchiladas and tacos. Ate way too much, but still had to top it off with a big piece of pecan pie./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif There's lots of recipes for Cajun fried turkeys, but I'm lazy; I just inject them with a pint of store bought Cajun seasoning. I don't consider it hot, but it does give it a mighty good flavor that most folks seem to like; however, I've got one son-in-law who thinks it's too spicy./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Re: Speaking of turkeys..

Thomas, I can't recall ever having eaten wild turkey; just the domestic ones. I've wondered whether a wild one might be tough (like an old hen or rooster) unless cooked properly. So I don't know whether they would fry up right or not. I just preheat my peanut oil to 325 degrees, ease the turkey on a rack down into it, bring the temperature back up to 325 and keep it there; total cooking time of 3.5 minutes per pound. Of course, it takes a big pot, and for these little 12 to 14 pound turkeys; 3.5 gallons of peanut oil. I think it's the best turkey I've ever eaten.

Re: Speaking of turkeys..

Bird,
I ownly harvest male turkeys,and the young Jakes are a little more tender that the Tom's in the 18 to 26 pound class.

The meat darker and has a gamer taste and seems more filling than a domestic turkey {great Bird you got me to drooling again /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif} plus there less grease.

I been check around on turkey cookers and haven't really found one for my needs other than cooking a turkey..would like a cooker for other game also that would stand and open fire.

Muhammad,

I not suprised by Dummy's experience. All automotive and aircraft instruments I've taken apart use a similar paint. I believe its function is to provide luminescence. Note - this type of paint will smear with the lightest touch - even when using a fine brush.
