turkey fry saturday

Today my husband and I were invited to a turkey fry at my daughter's brother-in-law and sister-in-law's house Thanks to social media, I know that this is the tenth year of their turkey fry. Co-workers, family, friends, friends of friends, extended family members and surprise guest show up each year.

Last evening our host began brining four turkeys that he keeps chilled in four coolers. He told me that his brine mixture consists of water, sugar, some salt, low sodium soy sauce and a bay leaf.

He also injects his turkeys with his own hot sauce creation. The hot sauce ingredients include teriyaki sauce, lime juice, hot sauce and ground black pepper. I didn't see a measuring cup or measuring spoons, so it's safe to say that after all these years he has the proportions down pat. Also, he's discovered the spots on the turkey where the injection works bests. He fries the turkey
​3-1/2 minutes per pound. Today, he was frying four 20 pound birds. I must say the meat was moist and tasty. I had one piece where the hot sauce was concentrated in one spot of the meat.


​There were also an array of appetizers and side dishes that guests bring to share with others. Today I brought a corn casserole that my sister-in-law got from a friend of hers. I multiplied the recipe four times due to the amount of guests would be here today. I know that when my children were younger, they really enjoyed this side dish at my brother and sister-in-law's holiday get togethers. 

There were some cute desserts here today today. It looks like they someone used mini Nutter Butter Bites, some white frosting, a Hershey Kiss and a chocolate chip to create mini acorns. Another dessert had a frosted fudge cookie turned upside down and a mini Reese's peanut butter cup attached to create a pilgrim hat. I found both the photos and recipe at the Taste of Home ​webpage. The photos are from Taste of Home.
