I know Thanksgiving is still 1 week away, but I just want to take the time and say, Happy 'early' Thanksgiving eGO!

Just the thought of Thanksgiving being a time that everyone gathers at the table to share laughs and stories makes me excited.

What do you love about Thanksgiving?

Now, I love turkey as much as the next person, so I want to take a minute of my time to share how I prepare/make my turkey. Everyone can share how you guys prepare your turkeys.

I start by mincing garlic and adding it to a bottle of pineapple juice, I leave it soaking for about 5 hours, shaking the bottle every half hour. After that, I pour the juice in a large cup and add a bottle of teriyaki sauce then I mix it and use it as a marinade. I get an injector and inject the turkey with the marinade till it's all in there. Then I leave it marinading overnight.

The next day, instead of baking a turkey, I deep fry it in peanut oil. Now I know what most of you are thinking, most of you might think it's very unhealthy and it'll clog your artery's, that's not true. Peanut oil is very healthy and it's the best frying oil to use. It's not that different in calories/fat than that of an oven baked turkey, it's actually better. The end result is a sweet, sour, delicious, juicy turkey.

Wow that sounds crazy good. I got bored of turkey after my 15th Thaksgiving...So what can I say.


Oh and happy Thanksgiving all.
 
We're gonna deep fry about 7 turkeys this thanksgiving. They freeze forever and the family is big... and Turkey is on sale. That's how my family works.

And we'll have tons of sausage and BBQ brisket, most likely. It's a Texas thanksgiving!

The fruit salad is where its at. I love that stuff, mom has to make me my own bowl every year =]
