I'm not from the USA and ice always wanted to ask, is deep frying the turkey really how it's done or is it just a joke?
Nope it's definitely a thing. We've got a bird in the oven now, but some friends are bringing over another bird and their fryer this afternoon. Deep fried turkey is delicious, nevermind the fat jokes lol
Air fried is not deep fried though, similar results but no risk of explosion and the same as deep fried
there are some restaurants that hire a trailer truck full of friers and line them up in the car park to create an assembly line of fried turkeys.
The US is a very diverse country, some people deep fry their turkey, most people don't. Many families don't make turkey at all.
