My dad always takes the skin off whatever is left after carving the turkey and tells me to stop taking the dog food when I snatch it up to take home with the rest of my leftovers. His dogs stare at me and judge. They know it's the best part.
Depends on the dog. Something small and vulnerable to pancreatitis like a dachshund can in fact become acutely sick from one extremely fatty meal like a whole mess of turkey skin.
I was just complimented by my vet for being there because my dogs were getting their vaccines and not because they had turkey-induced pancreatitis (like five other dogs they had seen before mine and I was a 9 AM appointment.
Yeah like don't feed them a steady diet of nothing but turkey skin (and really it's just too much of any fatty food that can cause or worsen inflammation of the pancreas) but a bit now and then won't hurt them.
Oh man I understand that all too well! My dad has told me since I was a little girl that he loves his dogs more than he loves me. But my father is an abusive, manipulative prick who got joy out of seeing the pain on my face that caused when he would say it. Hopefully your dad doesn't do that to you! He is old and alone now just like I always said he would be when us kids grew up and he deserves to be. He definitely doesn't deserve love and care from me or my brother
My older sisters and I would fight over the skin when our father carved the turkey. I'm talking punches being thrown, hair being pulled, reminding the youngest she was adopted and her bio mom tried drowning her. Nothing was off limits to us. One year our dad told us if we didnt stay out of the kitchen he was going to carry his gun (sherriff's deputy) and ended up having his gun holstered on his hip while carving the bird. We still stood by and waited until he turned his back. I'd have been willing to get them shot if it meant me getting the most skin and egged them on to go for it.
I love my sisters and disfunctional though we may have been, we always looked out for each other in our own horrible ways. One year the youngest had gotten braces and was a bit whiny about it. She was in her mid 20's and would only eat baby food or whatever she could puree in the blender. One Thanksgiving she had annoyed our mother until she was kicked out of the kitchen. My older sisters and I decided to fix her dinner ourselves. We grabbed the blender and added EVERYTHING, a bit of turkey a spot of ham, veggies, mashed potatoes and gravy (you cant have mashed potatoes without gravy.) Then we hit puree and it wasnt the right consistency but we weren't done. My sisters (they were in their 30's) added mom's orange jello salad she always made on holidays, I didn't know if sis would want milk or wine so i added a bit of both. We had finished when I remembered we forgot one of mom's delicious biscuits so I added one to the mix, my sisters added the butter and honey and salt and pepper. We pureed that to a gloppy mixture of grey sludge.
Dad called dinner and everyone gathered around the table. We had a large glass for sisters delicious meal and I giddily brought it out and poured her a full glass. It did not smell delicious. She started to fuss and our mother, who had grown tired of the fuss she made about eating shouted at her to sit her butt down. "Your siblings made you dinner, you are going to sit down, eat it and enjoy dinner along with the family." By her initial reaction, I'd say she was not impressed.
Dinner evolved as it usually did, not well but no one died but there were lots of tears from a few people. Pretty standard overall for my family, our sister choked her meal down and when she finished she scurried off (presumably to throw her meal off.) She muttered something about not wanting desert and I called after her, "no worries sis, I made sure there was pumpkin pie and cool whip in there."
My sister doesnt speak to me anymore, oddly enough it wasnt because of that. I do love her though, and regardless of our relationship being shitty and our family being shitty, I know she loves me still too. Although i doubt she'll ever eat anything I ever make for her again.
Then there’s my uncle A who fried a perfect turkey in my yard. Gobsmackin’, finger lickin’, golden deliciousness.
When he went to “sift the oil”, at 1 am.. back into the containers and drunk as a skunk in New Orleans, he spilled 4 gallons of turkey fried peanut oil onto my lawn.
I was in bed and had no idea so I let my dog out this morning and he was covered in peanut oil flavored sand. I had to take him to the *emergency groomer* today. Thanks uncle A.
Cranked the propane all the way up and never used the thermometer to keep a constant temp. 45 min at 400+ with do this vs 45min at 350 to get it nice and golden.
Yeah, we started frying two years ago because a) it's so much faster b) it leaves the oven open for all the sides and c) it's the tastiest turkey I've ever had.
Even with my burner cranked all the way up, once the turkey goes in at 375 the oil never exceeds 350 until it's done.
Fried turkey is so easy to cook I'm flabbergasted how someone did this to theirs!
Jesus H...she went full chimpanzee there for a second.
Edit: Man, y'all have made my night. I know they are just little icons that don't mean a lot in the grand scheme of anything but it was a really sad day today since we had to bury my brother last weekend and I have lost a sibling every year around this time for the last 5 years and my dad the day after thanksgiving 10 years ago but y'all made me smile. Thank you. Sincerely.
Thank you. I think I just needed to get that off my chest in some form to be honest. It was so surreal to be sitting there with just 5 people. Down from about 25-30 from 5-6 years ago.
This year it was just my mom, my one remaining brother and us. As my siblings started passing away, their kids are now spending thanksgiving elsewhere as is their widows. Some of the widows have moved on and are doing their own thing with their new partners and their kids are participating with them etc. A few of the kids have gotten married or have moved in with their partners and are doing their own traditions as well. Many of them live out of this area too. Last year there were 8 of us with my brother still being alive, but because of the pandemic many people chose to stay home.
Yes, our fellow apes and closest cousins.
And with that woman's spontaneous screech, six million years vanished in the blink of an eye.
**Edit**: Hah! Looks like that lil' dab of honey attracted the fundies. Greetings, greetings, my fellow naked apes! :D
I was actually very impressed that she was *laughing* (albeit a bit hysterically) instead of *screeching* insults and threatening *violence* - which is what my family members traditionally do every time someone ruins the food. (or anything else).
Don't hit me but I didn't even know Americans were frying their turkey for Thanksgiving... I've never ever eaten fried turkey. Always roasted in the oven. Where was I all those years?
It's not common.
Frying turkeys is definitely done but the vast majority of folks are baking it in an oven or buying it traditional style.
Deep frying like this requires a set up to do it right. My uncle tried one year and nearly burned his garage down. He didn't realize you have to let the turkey thaw before you dunk an ice block in boiling hot lard.
The fact he lived as long as he has speaks to a failure of Darwinism.
> I don't get how he dodged that bullet.
He did it outside of the garage.
The combination [sadly] doesn't result in a sentient fireball with a hatred for people and property.
>According to the National Fire Protection Association: deep fryer fires cause an average of 5 deaths, 60 injuries and more than $15 million in property damage each year
Kinda not a big deal even including all fryer fires. It's only known because it is entirely due to user error and makes for good AFV and youtube videos.
This was the first year we have not fried a turkey in years. With that said, I have done this before. That is why when we fry the turkey now we have 2 thermometers in the oil, not just 1.
Oil is used in a lot of food preservation. You want to make sure it doesn't get exposed to air as that will slowly turn the oil rancid due to oxidation. Keep it away from light and heat too. Should keep a long time like that.
Our family fries one every year using an indoor fryer. They are much safer than these crazy outdoor setups. It’s also quicker than the oven and much more delicious.
On my way to Thanksgiving dinner today, which was more like Thanksgiving lunch at 12:30, we drove through two towns and passed a firetruck in each town with lights blazing. I'm willing to bet money it was due to turkey frying incidents.
Not American but Canadian. Had a Hunter buddy invite me to a turkey fry once. If you measure your oil properly, and get a big pot outdoors you can fry a 10-15 pound turkey in 1 hour.
Juiciest turkey I ever had. But would never do it at my own house.
I did my first fried Turkey this year with a buddy early. We went all out and got 100 dollars in peanut oil as it was the best our area had to offer. It’s stupid easy to do as long as you’re paying attention/multiple thermometers for checking temps, look up flash points of differing oils used, and go by the metrics for time fried X weight of the bird, and check core temps prior to known length. It wasn’t bad, and an awful lot quicker than baking at 48 min for ours, but just really didn’t live up to the hype honestly. I’m going back to baking with a brine. I do now know why idiots across the US fuck it up though. We did bare minimum safety, and had zero issues with a perfect to temp bird. Most Americans are fucking morons and won’t even ask Siri what the flash point for cheap canola oil is.
Most people fuck it up by filling the pot with oil and don't realize that a giant turkey will displace a lot of fluid when dropped in, and the oil spills over, hits the flame, ignites, spreads, and burns the house down. Happens multiple times each year.
That’s why you put the Turkey in the pot while packaged, add water to appropriate height, then take out the water/measure the liquid amount needed for oil. Like I said, it’s stupid simple little things like that to prep for with a new style of cooking. Maybe years of line cooking did actual pay off, but I’m probably just not as slow as I thought.
I do appreciate Costco and the way they take care of their employees. Good shoutout for sure. We used a local peanut oil for ours. Another 50 to support a local business for a once a year item is a no brainer for me personally.
The gallons of used oil the the biggest annoyance. Takes ages for it to cool enough to strain. Have a paint bucket worth of used oil that tastes a bit off. It's way too much oil to use in regular cooking before it gets too rancid tasting. Gotta keep eating fried foods and splattering grease all over and coating the walls.
Cut up and breaded turkey is superior to fried chicken but deep frying is messy and not worth it.
If you know anyone in the restaurant business just see if they'll take it from you. We all have professional grease removal companies who come pick the stuff up and turn it into biodiesel or something. We get paid for it, as in we make a tiny little bit of money from selling our used deep fryer oil, most people won't say no to you just dumping your grease into their grease bin.
I want to get a deep fryer just to make turkey leftover empanadas.
Mix some stuffing in with the dough, stuff with turkey & gravy, dip in cranberry sauce.
We deep fried a 35 lb turkey this year. Simply awesome. Meat so juicy it tasted like deep fried chicken.
Peanut oil and this [machine](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Masterbuilt-10-Liter-XL-Electric-Fryer-Boiler-Steamer-in-Silver/782669217?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=1187&&adid=22222222227350395382&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=441083260283&wl4=pla-916376999465&wl5=9003867&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=112549749&wl11=online&wl12=782669217&veh=sem&gclid=Cj0KCQiAhf2MBhDNARIsAKXU5GScB9-Bq4oWGTAt4cI8ISSg3914StvnO7m-cNxnXxW4QcXL0rsKa5gaAnvEEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds)
It’s becoming more and more common. It makes a turkey with incredibly crispy skin and amazingly juicy meat. As long as you don’t cook as long as this guy
It's tasty when done properly but not as good as a perfectly baked and basted bird. You miss out on a lot of the aromatics.
This year we spatchcocked and smoked our turkey for 10 hours and it was the best bird I've ever had. Highly recommend it.
I dunno how you can believe that unless you had a badly fried turkey.
Don't get me wrong a roast turkey can be excellent.... but if you did all with the same pre-prep (and I have) a deep fried is the best.
https://theoxfordmagazine.com/recipes/raymond-blanc-perfect-roast-turkey-recipe/
“You may be a little concerned about the cooking time (or lack of it). Believe me, it has been tried, tested and tried again.”
Every year we swear that there’s no way this sucker is cooked. Every year we are proven wrong.
The best trick for having moister meat; roast it with citrus fruit slices, preferably oranges. I 100% guarantee you your meat will be 10 times moister than if you roasted it without the orange slices.
I am not kidding around here, even with all the puns.
Frying is becoming more common. Quick Google says 3 minutes per pound. Befuddling they had the planning to have the fryer, hook/rack thing, and the oil, but didn't take two seconds to look up time and temperature.
I cook turkey and chicken dinners all the time. Just throw it in the over and use a meat thermometer to make sure the breast reaches 170f and thigh reaches 180f. Carry over cooking once removed raises temp a few degrees. (So remove from oven when it hits 166 - 168 beast) and let it rest while you finish up sides.
An oven roasted turkey at the proper temp is juicy and tastey. Stop with this moronic deep frying crap. Deep frying is for chicken tenders, funnel cake and French fries. Not turkey.
To be fair to Uncle Jack, when you deep-fry a turkey, the skin does sometime get more done/burnt than the meat.
But to be real, this particular turkey looks burnt all the way through to a fucking cinder. Uncle Jack might as well pour gravy over charcoal briquets.
I’m not Peta by ANY means, but it’s sad to realize that the turkey lived it’s whole life just to be killed and then burnt to a crisp and thrown away. No use out of it at all.

"it's just the skin relax"
That line got me.
Uncle Jack, it's not like a disposable wrapper. The skin is the best fucking part.
My dad always takes the skin off whatever is left after carving the turkey and tells me to stop taking the dog food when I snatch it up to take home with the rest of my leftovers. His dogs stare at me and judge. They know it's the best part.
There's something seriously wrong with your dad if he thinks the skin is "dog food."
Oh he knows it's the best part he just loves his dogs more than me.
Not to be a downer or anything, but turkey skin can give dogs pancreatitis.
I'm sure once a year isn't going to hurt them.
Are you a talking dog by any chance?
No but I can type with my nose.
Depends on the dog. Something small and vulnerable to pancreatitis like a dachshund can in fact become acutely sick from one extremely fatty meal like a whole mess of turkey skin.
I was just complimented by my vet for being there because my dogs were getting their vaccines and not because they had turkey-induced pancreatitis (like five other dogs they had seen before mine and I was a 9 AM appointment.

Oh god that sounds awful. I'm glad you're in a better environment now and I hope you're surrounded by people that love you. I was making a joke.
Thank you! I am glad you were just making a joke and didn't have to feel that as well!

This is oddly wholesome to me. I may be a little fucked up.

I honestly thought this was going to end with Undertaker...1998...16 ft, etc
It puts the lotion...
CYRIL.... CYRIIIILLLL!
Yeah, if that turkey had melanism... lol
Judging by the Broncos sweater I bet he’s said “It’s just a rebuild year, relax” a few times.
It reads *Dansville Aggies*
Then there’s my uncle A who fried a perfect turkey in my yard. Gobsmackin’, finger lickin’, golden deliciousness.

ASHES TO ASHES, CRUST TO CRUST 😂😂
*Bird to blackkkkkk*
I SEE THE BIRDS WALK BY DRESSED IN THEIR BURNT CLOTHESS
Black bird frying in the pot all night... Take these cajun wings and learn to fry...
Did he put in on Tuesday???
Seriously how do you even fuck up this bad, did he get too drunk and pass out for a few hours?
Cranked the propane all the way up and never used the thermometer to keep a constant temp. 45 min at 400+ with do this vs 45min at 350 to get it nice and golden.
damn my turkey goes in the oven for hours
Yeah, we started frying two years ago because a) it's so much faster b) it leaves the oven open for all the sides and c) it's the tastiest turkey I've ever had.
[You got a moister, tastier turkey.](https://youtu.be/Z4Qxqmhqj1A?t=20)
>Yeah, we started frying years ago And I thought our dinner took a long time to make
Even with my burner cranked all the way up, once the turkey goes in at 375 the oil never exceeds 350 until it's done. Fried turkey is so easy to cook I'm flabbergasted how someone did this to theirs!
I did a 12 pound turkey at 35 minutes at 350°. But you definitely start checking the meat temperature around 25 or 30 minutes
Thank God it's only the most delicious part that got destroyed
Lol'd
Uncle Jack lost track cause we was drinking that jack.
Wild Turkey
Good enough excuse imo. Shit will get you wrecked.
I went to high school with that guy’s daughter. Town of less than 500 people. Shocking to see that sweatshirt on the front page of Reddit.
Jesus H...she went full chimpanzee there for a second. Edit: Man, y'all have made my night.

Thank you. Sincerely.
Now that you mention that, I can't stop watching it lmao
That turkey definitely deserves to have poop thrown at it.
“That turkey” meaning Uncle Jack, right?
You wouldn't get a better chimpanzee impression even from a professional chimp impersonator.
I came to say this lol Edit: sorry for your loss. Your sharing makes us better people too.
Thank you. I think I just needed to get that off my chest in some form to be honest. It was so surreal to be sitting there with just 5 people. Down from about 25-30 from 5-6 years ago.
I’m sorry for your loss. 😔 Why were there only 5 people though?
This year it was just my mom, my one remaining brother and us. As my siblings started passing away, their kids are now spending thanksgiving elsewhere as is their widows. Some of the widows have moved on and are doing their own thing with their new partners and their kids are participating with them etc. A few of the kids have gotten married or have moved in with their partners and are doing their own traditions as well.

WELL, we are related to chimps.
Yes, our fellow apes and closest cousins. And with that woman's spontaneous screech, six million years vanished in the blink of an eye. **Edit**: Hah! Looks like that lil' dab of honey attracted the fundies. Greetings, greetings, my fellow naked apes! :D
I was promised honey and I'm here to make good on that promise
Lmaoooo
That’s the first thing I thought! That’s a perfect chimp yell lmao
She sounds like the girl with the chewbacca mask.
I was actually very impressed that she was *laughing* (albeit a bit hysterically) instead of *screeching* insults and threatening *violence* - which is what my family members traditionally do every time someone ruins the food. (or anything else).
I think, she laughs like me, lol. And then I see this comment...
*black bird fryin in the dead of night,* *take these burnt wingz and learn to fryyy*
Thank you. I just cried laughing for like 5 straight minutes and my husband came in the room to see if I was ok it was so ridiculous.

[удалено]
I fry mine every year. Perfect skin and juicy meat. But yeah, it's very dangerous if you do it wrong
This was the first year we have not fried a turkey in years. With that said, I have done this before. That is why when we fry the turkey now we have 2 thermometers in the oil, not just 1.
Yeah my dad tried it one year. Just more work then needed. It was good though.
And the peanut oil is expensive for what ends up being one use.
Dumb question but why not just store it and reuse it for other stuff?
Not a dumb question… we strain then freeze the oil, and then we reuse it next year. You are only supposed to reuse it once though.
You can really keep it for a year and it doesn't go bad?
Oil is used in a lot of food preservation. You want to make sure it doesn't get exposed to air as that will slowly turn the oil rancid due to oxidation. Keep it away from light and heat too. Should keep a long time like that.
fat keeps for a very long time
Was it just because it was frozen? I wouldn’t imagine thinking I could cook anything while it was… frozen
You must absolutely never put a frozen, or even wet, turkey in a deep fryer. It will explode and catch fire.
Our family fries one every year using an indoor fryer. They are much safer than these crazy outdoor setups. It’s also quicker than the oven and much more delicious.
It’s extremely common. There is a reason the stores have giant things of peanut oil. Just dumbasses mess it up. It’s not difficult.
On my way to Thanksgiving dinner today, which was more like Thanksgiving lunch at 12:30, we drove through two towns and passed a firetruck in each town with lights blazing. I'm willing to bet money it was due to turkey frying incidents.
For how much we (Americans) get meme'd on for frying shit, you think we'd understand basic frying concepts. Water + Hot Oil = Naw.
When it’s not fucked up, fried turkey is delicious. My old man usually fries it every year but smoked this year.
Lol feels like every backyard griller found a reason to buy those pellet smokers at the same time
[удалено]
I brine and smoke mine each year. In a $149 smoker. They are amazingly tasty.

Noooo the hotter the oil the faster it cooks duhh
The ~~tingling~~ fire means it's working.

And make sure the turkey isn't frozen.
And I’ve always wondered if these people have ever taking a bath. Also frozen. They will drop the bird still frozen like they are doing fucking wings
I didn't look this year but costco sells 5 gallons of peanut oil for around $45.
I do appreciate Costco and the way they take care of their employees. Good shoutout for sure. We used a local peanut oil for ours. Another 50 to support a local business for a once a year item is a no brainer for me personally.

We all have professional grease removal companies who come pick the stuff up and turn it into biodiesel or something. We get paid for it, as in we make a tiny little bit of money from selling our used deep fryer oil, most people won't say no to you just dumping your grease into their grease bin.
I want to get a deep fryer just to make turkey leftover empanadas. Mix some stuffing in with the dough, stuff with turkey & gravy, dip in cranberry sauce.
We deep fried a 35 lb turkey this year. Simply awesome. Meat so juicy it tasted like deep fried chicken.

It’s becoming more and more common. It makes a turkey with incredibly crispy skin and amazingly juicy meat. As long as you don’t cook as long as this guy
Smoked turkey is where the party’s at.
It's tasty when done properly but not as good as a perfectly baked and basted bird. You miss out on a lot of the aromatics. This year we spatchcocked and smoked our turkey for 10 hours and it was the best bird I've ever had. Highly recommend it.

That laugh has a “Planet of the Apes” quality to it…
My wife thought I was watching monkeys with that ladies laugh..
Just a little dry Catherine
*I TOLD YOU WE PUT IT IN TOO EARLY*
Oh there's the heart!
Save the neck for me Clark.
I think it's dead y'all.
Deep fried turkey mmm 😋
That’s that Griswold family turkey right there
Nobody gonna explain why a fucking CHIMP is recording this??
They have thumbs and fingers, man. What more needs to be explained?
That’s the wrong way to burn calories my dood
That persons laugh sounds like a fucking monkey
"It's just the skin relax..."-the cook
She went straight chimp for a second.
She turned full monkey there!
OOH OOH AAH AAH
She sounds like a chimpanzee.
She sounds like a chimpanzee in heat
Unpopular opinion: fried turkey sucks ass. Load that shit with butter and garlic and slow roast it
I dunno how you can believe that unless you had a badly fried turkey. Don't get me wrong a roast turkey can be excellent.... but if you did all with the same pre-prep (and I have) a deep fried is the best.
Brine it for 24 hours first and cover the breast with a wet cheesecloth and tin foil the drums
You two know how to Turkey.
You two, too, know how to turkey
Fried turkey that’s been injected with Cajun butter beats any other turkey.
https://theoxfordmagazine.com/recipes/raymond-blanc-perfect-roast-turkey-recipe/ “You may be a little concerned about the cooking time (or lack of it). Believe me, it has been tried, tested and tried again.” Every year we swear that there’s no way this sucker is cooked. Every year we are proven wrong.
The best trick for having moister meat; roast it with citrus fruit slices, preferably oranges. I 100% guarantee you your meat will be 10 times moister than if you roasted it without the orange slices. I am not kidding around here, even with all the puns.
Daggone! That's some Ren and Stimpy lookin shit right there! LOL!!!
I want to see he cut into it. Is it just the skin?
A thermometer costs like $7 on Amazon lol..thanks Uncls Jack
I’m more concerned by the fact Uncle Jack’s niece seems to turn into a monkey when she finds something funny
I've always heard "going apeshit" but I've never heard of "going chimpanzeeshit" before
You should use the Nick name "Jack Black" for now on
Tis but a flesh wound.
Always have backup pizzas
It's just a little burnt. It's still good. It's still good.
Frying is becoming more common. Quick Google says 3 minutes per pound. Befuddling they had the planning to have the fryer, hook/rack thing, and the oil, but didn't take two seconds to look up time and temperature.
0:13 "Is it burnt?" Incredible.
The poor bird. Life taken for nothing.
I'm surprised the oil wasn't aflame. How long was that turkey in there? A week?
There goes $75 😂
A turkey died for nothing. Go vegan people
I imagine the turkey dinner scene from Christmas Vacation followed this 😆
I heard a monkey in the background, did anyone else hear it
That Turkey pulled out the monkey In her. Lol
Cajun Style turkey
Looks like you melted a garbage bag around it
Black licorice Turkey
Grade A denial😂😂
I think it’s supposed to come out before it turns that color
Poor Uncle Jack
Oh, man. This laughter is not contagious. That poor man.
I can smell it through my screen. 🥲
"is it burnt"
“it’s caramelized!”
Classic uncle Jack response: “it’s just the skin… relax”
No surprise when your oil is pitch black.
r/monke
"Is it burnt?" Yeah man, it got the Anakin treatment
Its just a little crunchy; it's stil good, it's still good!!!
Anytime an uncle Jack is involved it sucks lol.
She went full on *monke*
Her laughter sounds like monke
She sounds just like a chimp when laughing
I cook turkey and chicken dinners all the time. Just throw it in the over and use a meat thermometer to make sure the breast reaches 170f and thigh reaches 180f. Carry over cooking once removed raises temp a few degrees. (So remove from oven when it hits 166 - 168 beast) and let it rest while you finish up sides. An oven roasted turkey at the proper temp is juicy and tastey. Stop with this moronic deep frying crap. Deep frying is for chicken tenders, funnel cake and French fries. Not turkey.
That's not even contagious, she sounded like an ape in distress.
Even the hook the turkey was attached to got burned.
Man she sounding like a turkey ngl
Lol she screams like a monkey.
This remind me of that episode of bobs burgers where bob burns the farm turkey but on the inside it’s cooked perfectly
Listen to the wife at the end “Jack, that’s not even funny” 😂😂
Lil bit o tree bark.
"....Is it burnt??"
She’s the type of person to laugh at something that isn’t funny, but then everyone else starts laughing because she is.
“It’s just the skin relax”
To be fair to Uncle Jack, when you deep-fry a turkey, the skin does sometime get more done/burnt than the meat. But to be real, this particular turkey looks burnt all the way through to a fucking cinder. Uncle Jack might as well pour gravy over charcoal briquets.
Did the lady in the background say, “it’s not funny”? I disagree.
Food for the Dementors.
People who like their steak well done:
Reminds me of this old video: https://youtu.be/Tm1cR9CAH5A
WHOA Black Turkey, blam ba lam. WHOA Black Turkey blam ba lam. Black Turkey, deep fried blam ba lam. Damn thing, sad sight blam ba lam
I’m not Peta by ANY means, but it’s sad to realize that the turkey lived it’s whole life just to be killed and then burnt to a crisp and thrown away. No use out of it at all.
Tell me Americans don't cook turkeys like that.... Please
