Afraid of frying turkeys in grease? Frying your turkey is a sure-fire way to keep your holiday bird super juicy on the inside (even white meat) while extra crispy on the outside. However, grease fryers can often be dangerous even for seasoned turkey frying veterans. A safer alternative is to use a grease-less or oil-less fryer. This method of cooking yields the same result as frying in oil, without the danger of catching something on fire or burning your self. Plus, it's better for your health as most recipes call for peanut oil which contains harmful trans fats. This is our favorite way to cook a turkey and the unsuspecting grazer will never know that you didn't use oil to fry your holiday turkey!  Check out our recipe below and let us know what you think:
