Had my first fried turkey Christmas. the smoked turkey I did a few weeks back was so much better!

It was tasty & tender, whereas the fried one was 'ok', but the next day it was just a greasy leftover that even the cat wouldnt eat!

Anyone else like the smoked ones better than the fried ones?

You just need to eat a fried turkey done correctly, they are great. I like smoked also so I'm happy either way.

I fried 2 before Xmas. One was brined for 2 days in a basic honey brine. The other was injected with a beer/butter mix. They were
"OK" as you say but were just as good a week later when I nuked some. The breast remained moist. I ahve smoked 2 using the honey brine recipe here and they were really great. I guess I'll either have to try some other methods of frying or taste someone else's
to make a real judgement. Frying turned out to be easier than I though,so I will try it again as I still have the peanut oil.
