Turkey Perfection

We hosted Thanksgiving dinner, and Tom was eager to deep fry the turkey. The process cooks the bird quickly--42 minutes, in our case--and results in crispy skin and succulent meat. (Not greasy at all, as some might expect.) The turkey literally fell apart when Tom went to carve it. I knew it was a hit when we couldn't get our guests to the table: they were gathered in the kitchen eating from the carcass!
