Whip is correct - if done properly the turkey is no greasy at all.
When the turkey is dropped into the oil it sears the outside so all the juices stay inside
the bird and it steams it from the inside out. The skin is very crispy for those that enjoy that
but the meat is very moist and tender - not greasy.
Well that's interesting. I always thought that people deep-fried things in order to get that lovely extra punch of fat that we humans crave. What is the point of deep-frying a turkey then? There are other much easier ways to get a nice crispy skin and a moist and tender inside.
