Our group has a Thanksgiving pot luck each year.  I made a joke about bringing a deep fried turkey and ended up have to find financing for two deep fried turkeys.

This turkey soaked overnight in a brine solution with apple juice and poultry spices.

Lots of excitement dunking the turkey in hot oil.

Pulling the turkey out of the hot oil.

Used an electric knife for carving.  Why do I ever doubt Alton Brown? It is great for slicing up turkeys.

The turkeys where very well received at the pot luck.  It was the first dish to run out.
