Deep Frying a turkey question

Do NOT overfill the pot! This can't be stressed enough. It's better to underfill and have to add oil in afterwards then to have too much.

And when you gently place the turkey in, the oil will rise higher than you would think as the steam created will increase the volume of the oil.

If you've never done this, be careful. We do two to three turkeys a year in the fryer. Do it outside on a level driveway with no overhanging branches. Have a fire extinguisher near by. Keep kids way, way out of the area. And give plenty of time for cool down of both the bird and oil once you are done cooking. Measure doneness with a probe thermometer in the thigh of the bird, make sure not to touch the bone with the thermometer.

Oh and last thing... make sure you didn't leave the giblets bag in the turkey.

Takes a good 30 minutes to get your oil up to temp. I usually go about 25-50 degrees higher as the oil will drop fast once you put the bird in.

Best way to fill the pot is put the turkey in then fill it up with water until the bird is covered. Take the bird out and mark where the water is. This is how much oil you should put in the pot. You should have minimal oil spitting out once you drop the turkey in. Go slow when putting the turkey in. If you drop it in at once you will create a volcano effect and oil will shoot out straight up though the neck.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
