If you’ve ever considered deep-frying a turkey for Thanksgiving, [“How to Deep-Fry a Turkey,”]( written by Senior Editor Matthew Fairman, is a story you need to read. He breaks down the whole process into its simple elements with lots of specifics, because, as anyone who has ever considered frying a turkey will tell you, there’s lots of information on the internet to distill down into a clean, easy-to-follow, failproof [recipe](. For his recipe, Matthew spent months—summer months, when turkeys are scarce in supermarkets—frying turkeys in his backyard, and then giving away the unseasonal meat to friends and neighbors and dropping it off in community fridges around New Orleans, Louisiana, where he’s based. He spent time consulting with experts in the field of turkey fries, prying tips and tricks from the subtlety of their words. He worked with our esteemed Reviews Team to establish a buyer’s guide for all the necessary equipment you’ll need to fry your turkey successfully and safely. And speaking of safety, we have [a full guide]( for you to follow to make sure things go off without a hitch. When you follow his recipe, which I did for a recent photoshoot at the test kitchen, the results speak for themselves: beautifully browned skin, juicy meat, a bird seasoned from bone to bite. I recommend you try deep-frying your turkey this year. Not only because it’s good and likely different from what you normally do, but because, as Matthew states in his article, it’s a vibe that says, “I am celebrating this holiday 110 percent, but it’s going to be fun and chill, and we’re going to be outside.” The recipes in this newsletter are free for two days Ready for your best-ever Thanksgiving?
