It’s called The Big Easy and Char-Broil claims is has all the taste of a fried turkey, without the oil, mess and imminent backyard explosions we hear about every year on Thanksgiving.
I’m intrigued. I’ve always been too chicken to fry a turkey (heh heh), and therefore the perfect candidate to try out a gas powered oil-less unit.
First I’ll need to assemble and season the little guy. I’ve bought a 14+ pound Northwest Natural turkey and am planning to try the first recipe in the Charbroil booklet they send. It’s very simple – 1 turkey, peanut oil, and herb seasoning of your choice.
How many of you have deep fried a turkey? How many have tried The Big Easy? If you’ve tried both, please share your comparison in the comments.
