Fried Turkey - Help

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.

"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.

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.

Cliffs_Daughter · November 22, 2010, 11:39:15 AM

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 Copelandâ€™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!)
