You have a nice flair there , would be nice to see them even make it to the minor for a major . s <| sep |> Yeah , I get things wrong a lot ! <| sep |> I agree with everyone saying to use a meat thermometer as well as an oil thermometer . However , I don ' t think you necessarily did anything wrong with the frying , you almost certainly needed let it rest longer . 10 minutes is nothing for a decent sized turkey . Let the carryover cooking do its work , it takes time to get heat into the thickest , densest portions of a big bird . <| sep |> Its a stereotype for sure , but how is that bigotry ? Anyways , glad i could offend you a little on thanksgiving <| sep |> Hey , I feel the same way . I have a good foundation laid but knowing me I ' ll never get Godtenks .
