(Undated) — Deep frying the Thanksgiving turkey has become very popular. University of Illinois Extension Food Nutrition Educator, Caitlin Mellendorf, says a few basic tips to keep in mind include making sure the deep fryer is well away from any structures and on a stable level surface. She also reminds everyone that you must thaw the turkey thoroughly before putting it in the oil. She says healthy oils like olive oil, avocado oil, and sesame oil are very popular options for cooking nowadays, however, she says do not use those to deep fry your turkey. She says the U of I Extension has plenty of resources for those preparing a holiday feast and those that just simply want to learn more about food preparation in general. Follow the link.
