for the first time EVER, we fried a turkey. we did 3 turkeys this thanksgiving (fatties!!) and of the 3, the turkey which we used this recipe was the first to go. we sent the baked turkey home w/ our aunts and uncles... don't let the cayenne pepper scare you at all, it really does burn off during the fry, you're left with just a great tasting turkey. enjoy ;-) -ryan

When you are not up to spending a lot of time at the stove, this is the dinner dish for you. Just a quick prep and then pop it in the oven.

I used to hate cooking a lot more than I do now, and this was one of the recipes that convinced me I could do it. It's about the easiest thing you can imagine and you don't even need to use the oven (you can, but it's not so slick).

My mom always used to make this when I was younger. When I went to college, I made her give me the recipe and it's been a big hit with my friends ever since.
