INJECTED BUFFALO TURKEY
I thought of this the other day. It's been on my mind for some time and I just whipped it up. Have to say it a real winner. It's not that spicy but also not something I would serve at Thanksgiving. Someone sent me a huge container of Durkee's Buffalo Chicken wing seasoning. It's good but don't breathe it as it makes me cough. It's a blend of garlic, salt, paprika, cayenne and onion powders.

Steps:
- Place the hot water, kosher salt and brown sugar into a 5-gallon upright drink cooler and stir until the salt and sugar dissolve completely. Add the ice and stir until the mixture is cool. Gently lower the turkey into the container. If necessary, weigh down the bird to ensure that it is fully immersed in the brine. Cover and set in a cool dry place for 8 to 16 hours.
- Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse and pat dry. Allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- Place the oil into a 28 to 30-quart pot and set over high heat on an outside propane burner with a sturdy structure. Bring the temperature of the oil to 250 degrees F. Once the temperature has reached 250, slowly lower the bird into the oil and bring the temperature to 350 degrees F. Once it has reached 350, lower the heat in order to maintain 350 degrees F. After 35 minutes, check the temperature of the turkey using a probe thermometer. Once the breast reaches 151 degrees F, gently remove from the oil and allow to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to carving. The bird will reach an internal temperature of 161 degrees F due to carry over cooking. Carve as desired.
DEEP-FRIED TURKEY
Deep-frying a turkey might seem daunting, but if you follow the instructions and safety tips carefully, it can be a lot of fun and you can free up the stove and oven for all of those tasty Thanksgiving sides. If you're buying a turkey fryer to make this, look for a kit with a pot that has a spigot at the bottom to drain out the oil - a small but important detail that will make your clean up much easier and faster.

Steps:
- To determine how much oil you will need for frying, set your turkey (still in the plastic) in your frying pot, legs up. Measure and add enough water just to cover the turkey. (There should be at least 6 inches between the water line and the top of the pot to fry safely.) Remove the turkey and water and dry the pot very well.
- Combine the butter, broth, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, lemon zest and 1 tablespoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over very low heat and cook until the garlic softens, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and let cool completely. Strain; reserve the liquid and discard the solids.
- One hour before you are ready to cook, take the turkey out of the refrigerator and remove the neck and giblets. Pat the turkey very dry, inside and out. If there is a pop-up timer, remove and discard. Use an injector syringe to inject the butter mixture into the turkey, 4 or 5 places in each breast and 2 or 3 in each leg and thigh. (Inject as deep into the flesh as you can.) Pat dry if any of the mixture leaks out. Season the turkey inside and out with 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper and rub it in well.
- Add the oil to the frying pot and heat to 350˚ F (if using a propane fryer, heat over medium). It should take 45 minutes to 1 hour to heat the oil. Once the oil reaches 350˚ F, using protective gloves, slowly lower the turkey into the fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- The oil temperature will drop 30˚ F to 40˚ F almost immediately. Adjust the heat so the temperature stays between 300˚ F and 325˚ F the whole time you are frying. Fry 3 minutes per pound. When the turkey is done, turn off the fryer. Using the gloves and the lifting rack, carefully remove the turkey from the oil to a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh; it should register 155˚ F. Let the turkey rest 20 to 30 minutes before removing from the rack and carving (the internal temperature will increase about 10˚ F). Make sure the frying oil cools completely before discarding, at least 4 hours.

Steps:
- For the wings: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a cooling rack set into a baking sheet. Pat the wings with paper towels until they are very dry, then drizzle with some oil and sprinkle on all sides with salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add 1 cup water to the bottom of the baking sheet and tent the pan with foil.
- Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the wings are tender, the skin is crispy and brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the wing registers 165 degrees F, about 1 hour more. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- For the blue cheese dip: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, Maytag, half-and-half, sour cream, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl until well combined. Set aside.
- For the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the hot sauce and whisk to combine. Brush the wings all over with the sauce, making sure they are well coated. Serve the wings with the remaining hot sauce, blue cheese dip and carrots and celery.
