I live in an apartment building and am craving a fried turkey. Anyone know of a place in Jax that will fry your turkey for you for a fee. Or even better somewhere that sells a fried turkey meal. I live in Riverside, however anywhere in Jax is fine.
:D That is a serious fried turkey jones you've got going on.
Just set your rig up in the parking lot or somewhere outside...
Fried Turkey skin....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm :D
I love fried turkey just as much as the next guy.. but wow! :D
"Friedturkey" I'm not teasing you,but check back on this thread...Riverside calls were made. ;)
Remember that the Fryer requires several gallons of Peanut oil for the fry.

I think I remember the Lee's Chicken on San Jose in Mandarin selling whole fried turkeys during the holidays.

Copelands on Southside does fried turkey orders for T-Day
What was the outcome of this? Please friedturkey, you must post at least once more to let us know if you were successful! I need closure.

Maybe friedturkey has become a victim of one of the infamous turkey frying disasters warned about by Dennis Haysbert in the All State commercial. I hope he was in good hands.

That guy is a total dumb a**. Too small a pot/too large a turkey/too much oil.
and never, never, NEVER put a frozen turkey in hot oil.
Thaw that thing really well first.

Sadly, I was unsuccessful. I don't have a fryer and couldn't find a place that would fry my turkey. I can confirm that Copeland’s will sell you a fried turkey, however it is 50$ for a 10lb turkey. I took the cheap route and threw my 59 cent/lb cajun butter injected turkey in the oven. Maybe next year....
Now for my next question.. Does anyone know of a great mom and pop meat market in Jax. One that sells homemade sausage, beef jerky, deer jerky...? Pine Grove market in Riverside is great for a steak, but I'm cravin some jerky.
Hey Friedturkey - the $50 price from Copeland's isn't so bad, considering my 13 lb turkey was around $14 and the oil was another $30. Factor in gas, time, labor, and the salt and brown sugar I marinated it in, and I might just stop by Copeland's myself next year...
(But it was absolutely delicious!)
We got a copeland's dinner a few years ago and it was sucktastic. I think the turkeys were fried somewhere way in advanced and then frozen, instructions said to put the bird back into the oven to crisp the skin back up but it was like trying to rewarm fried chicken. Thing turned out dry and bland. The sides weren't much better.
After reading an article about it in the New York Times, we ordered a smoked turkey from Greenburgs in Tyler, Texas. It was absolutely fantastic! Much better than the faked up "smoked" turkeys available in the local stores.
friedturkey: I'm sure you'll get another chance for your name sake around Christmas time. Also, Terry's on Penman Road at the beach has the best homemade sausage, but I have never seen homemade jerky (excluding myself) in there. I look closer next time and let you know.
I would Love to know who the Restaurant was that was being used as background video during a Thanksgiving broadcast on Channel 4
The chef had actually BREADED HIS FRIED TURKEY'S !! :o
Only in Jacksonville would this be bastardized into "Country Fried Turkey" ::)

Thanks for the warning. I've eaten at Copeland's before and wasn't super impressed so I guess that isn't a big surprise.
For Christmas I think I'm gonna brine and fry up a bunch of turkey wings. Anybody ever tried it? My dad and I nearly came to blows over the two wings at Thanksgiving. I outweigh him but he's quick...
Copelands food was about the same as Harrys at double the price!
