Chef Kyle Andreasen says it’s all in the prep, shares his fool-proof process
Memphis, TN – The Thanksgiving turkey is the centerpiece of any holiday meal and getting it just right can be a daunting task. Recently, Chef Kyle Andreasen from the Wesson Test Kitchen did a satellite media tour to discuss his expert tips and tricks for preparing a legendary deep-fried turkey that is sure to wow guests on Thanksgiving and become a new holiday tradition.
A deep-fried turkey is convenient, taking as little as 45 minutes to cook, and frees up oven space so your Thanksgiving meal hits the table when it’s still hot. That means a perfectly timed dinner and extra time with loved ones. A mouth-watering, perfectly deep-fried turkey starts about a week out from the big day and culminates with the right cooking oil. Chef Kyle shared his process, and valuable tips to make the deep fry fast, safe and stress free.
“When you’re only using two ingredients, turkey and cooking oil, a high-quality oil is critical to the success of the dish,” says Chef Kyle. “Wesson Canola Oil is ideal for frying, with a clean, neutral flavor and stability at high temperatures. Its neutral taste allows the food’s flavors to shine through, so you taste that delectable turkey – not the oil. Deep-frying with Wesson results in perfectly crisp skin that locks in moisture, yielding juicy, flavorful meat that will impress even the most discerning palates.”
To ensure your first turkey frying experience is both safe and enjoyable, follow Wesson’s comprehensive guide. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to prep your turkey, properly handle and recycle the oil, and execute a flawless cook.
With Wesson Oil as your trusted culinary partner, you can create a Thanksgiving feast that’s a deliciously memorable testament to the art of deep frying! Discover the difference high quality cooking oil makes to your turkey deep-fry. Visit our Recipes & Ideas page for more recipe inspiration.
