McDONOUGH — Frying a holiday turkey may sound like fun, but it can be tricky. Here are a few tips from University of Georgia experts to help make sure your bird is thoroughly cooked and your holiday doesn’t include a trip to the emergency room or a call to the fire department.
“People who fry turkeys say it produces a moister turkey. And, it’s quicker,” said Elizabeth Andress, a UGA Cooperative Extension food safety specialist. “But in the eyes of safety experts, the typical propane-fueled turkey fryer is a major accident waiting to happen. There are definitely safety issues to consider.”
