Thanksgiving Fried Turkey

I had fried turkey for the first time today and it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. Actually, fried turkey look different than I imagined in the first place. Apparently, fried turkey is just taking a whole turkey and putting it into a fryer and fry it, that's it. The reason that people don't do it usually is because it is hard to fry a whole turkey safely at home, since oil usually spill out from the fryer and cause the whole thing to go on fire really quickly and leading to massive damages to people's home every year. Nonetheless, when people tell me about fry turkey, I thought they put the turkey in batter, sort of like how you fry a chicken. Also, I did not think they would fry the whole turkey, but instead, I thought they make it into like a turkey roll or something like that, and fry that instead. Oh well, nonetheless, I would have to say that I was a little disappointed when I found out about what fry turkey really is. Nonetheless, I think fry turkey taste a little better than roasted turkey. The reason are probably two: (1) the skin are crispy because it is fried, and make the turkey skin taste even better than it usually do, and (2) the turkey are more moist, thus allowing you to enjoy more of the turkey instead of the usual drier turkey that just does not become too apertizing after a couple of bites.

I think the fried turkey could be better though. For example, if you can get some stuffing in there and fry the turkey, I think that would really add another twist to the stuffings, especially the Chinese stuffing that I ususally make, with rice and sticky rice and Chinese sausage. Just thinking about it made me drool . . . . . . . . . . . . Which, on another note, I ate too much this past two weeks, I gained like 10 lbs . . . .
