OK - davesters not getting invited to our next turkey fry
; -)
As noted at about 3 minutes per pound it;s very quick to cook a few turkeys and serve a large crowd.
We have had parties where we have had 75 people trailing in over the course of the afternoon
and you can just keep throwing another turkey on and have fresh eats. The trickiest part is getting
the first couple done because once you start serving then they get snatched up very quickly.
Cost of equipment was never an issue because my buddy already had the set up - propane burner and stand
and a large cooking pot. Same set up gets used for venison stew feast in the fall and boing large
amounts of corn on the cob for summer parties and lots of other foods.
Also I was being conservative on the oil. You can get quite a few cooking sessions out of it
if you are good about cleaning it and storing it so it doesn't go rancid.
We also let the carnivores that like to eat the skin
: -)
