Thanksgiving with "Sean Linnane"

The blogger "Sean Linnane" happened to be in Washington over Thanksgiving and introduced the Frum family to the art of turkey deep-frying.

The blogger "Sean Linnane" happened to be in Washington over Thanksgiving. He introduced the Frum family to the art of turkey deep-frying. Glad to report that house is still standing - and the bird was delicious.

First you have to make sure the turkey is good and dead.

A 12-pounder of Shenandoah's finest is slowly lowered into into the cauldron of bubbling oil.

Splash down.

Sizzle sizzle.

Cover and wait 41 minutes.

A perfectly roasted turkey emerges.

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.

Voila.

The now carved turkey is served alongside a Southwest stuffing (cornbread, andouille sausage, peppers, corn) roast potatoes, green beans with candied pecans, and a pumpkin mash. Cranberry jalapeno jelly for the brave; regular cranberry sauce for the traditionalists.
