Have you ever tried a Turkey Cajun Style; they are quite good. Perhaps you might want to take advantage as the unsold Turkeys go on sale right after Thanksgiving and that is generally a lot of meat per weight for the price. Let me tell you of one way to cook a 11-16 pound Turkey Cajun Style and you will absolutely love it. First get a five-gallon pale of peanut oil, which is enough to soak your Turkey in. You will want to make sure it is totally under the peanut oil submerged. Then you will need some Creole Seasoning, one good brand is Tony Chachere. You will need a large pot big enough to submerge your Turkey and a way to raise and lower the turkey and a thermometer. Heat the oil with the seasoning in it to 350 degrees. Then cook your turkey by frying it for about 36 minutes to an hour based on the size of the turkey. If the thing catches on fire raise the Turkey, put out the fire and start again, realizing to stop the timer. Be sure not to burn down the house. This Turkey will serve between 8-10 men, or athletic types. Only cool people make Cajun Turkey this way. Please do not share this Secret Recipe with anyone else. Thanks. |
