Electric? GEEZ! Propane's cheaper. Try convincing my 65 year old cajun uncle that. "I don' use dat electric sh@#, you gotta cook it wit' gaz". Yes, he did lower the turkey in gently.

Turkey fryer
There's a website that sells both gas or electric fryers. Here's the one that looks like my uncle's

I saw lots of horrifying video on the cable news shows demonstrating how the gas fired units behave when the users are careless. Once the oil reached the flash point, even a cover on the pot would not stop the flames and real firemen had a tough time extinguishing it with foam.
Only thing about the fried turkey is it would be hard to make gravy, or at least it looks that way.

What would you do to use all that oil?
I am guessing you'd have to fry these BEFORE the turkey.
Similar to Italian Zeppoli

"Zeppoli" are called "Oliebollen" (oilbulbs) in Holland. We eat them at New Years Eve.
Snoobers anyone?

You just may end up with frozen pignoli

I'm just a good old fashioned Greek boy....with a little NYC attitude around the edges.

At least in Holland Beignets are always filled with fruit, mostly slices of apple.
I love the house Jason. It's similar to the new house my neighbors built when they subdivided their property last year. The steep pitched roof, sort of french chateau or cottage style, the neighbors wife is french canadian with the temper to match when she gets mad.. LOL. I always feel ashamed to come home after being in there, she keeps it spotless where our place is dog hair haven with cobweb accents
Said: She keeps it spotless where our place is dog-hair haven with cobweb accents.
With that temper, she probably has no cobwebs in her house, but full of them is her....(oh nevermind).
I've seen a French Candian explode over nothing. It aint pretty.

French canadian temper
And you know she's really mad when she starts cursing in French. And yes, I know what that sounds like
. Cajun women are just as loud and ear shattering when mad.

I'm rambling.....
We did 2 of them here this past T-day...first one came out perfect...put in the bird I brought...we were having such a good time, I told my nephew...oh just another 10 mins....HA!!
That sucka was MUMMIFIED!! Oh well hell....we could only save the breast meat, and only a little of that. Ended up being mostly P'sOS...(trashed) Wished I had a pic...halarious looking!
Glad to hear it was great for you Jason! You deserve it, from the all you and your fam been thru! I HAD to laugh at your editing on the first pic...."no FEMA trailer for us"...
Ya know...when you have actually worked for these agencies, are on the inside, processing these folks, and then seeing how they spend that money, it's a joke...(not in all cases mind you, but in over 80%, and I'm not kidding!)
Then you watch the news and see what is being reported, and its another joke.
Ok...stick a fork in me....IM DONE....

Well, as the old joke goes something like this...
A woman walks into a bakery only to notice a baker patting down a ball of dough on his bare belly so she asked the clerk "What is that baker doing?" only to be told "He is making the bread" The lady, confused, asks "Isn't that a strange way of making bread?" only to be told...."If you think that's strange you should be here when he makes the doughnuts!!!"
Hope this makes someone laugh....OR think! As I allways say "Most of the rumors that have been spread about me I started and the ones that I didn't start gave me ideas that I never had before"
