Turkey

[BaltRochGirl]

Here's a recipe that doesn't need a roasting pan. I wish I had the nerve to try this one at home! https://groups.google.com/group/uk.media.radio.archers/msg/6ff4e9b76ac652b6?hl=en

Don't think my apt is a suitable place for frying turkeys!!

However if you have a yard with some space they are delicious and cook much faster than roasting in an oven. The main problem people encounter when frying turkeys is adding too much oil into the fryer, you need to account for the size of the turkey when calculating how much oil to use, so it doesn't spill over and ignite the (generally grass) on the ground below the fryer when you put the turkey in!

I located this info in a post by EvergreenGal from last year:

"La Granja
de Ricardo Atapuerca
Juramento 2527 - Local 33
Capital Federal
4781-1243

They are located inside the Belgrano enclosed market....in the back corner next to the rear door that leads to the parking lot...."


I just called and ordered mine and don't worry about size because the man on the phone told me they don't have anything less than 5 kilos! EPA! Anyway I was nervous about buying a possibly pre-brined turkey (do not want) and he assured me that they are all-natural. They do offer free delivery (even to Barrio Norte, where I am located) but only in the morning.

My spanish is not excellent but he was very nice on the phone and I'm looking forward to eating my bird! Thanks for the recommendation.

Thats the place and the birds are very good. I've had 4 and each was as good as they get.

I couldn't find a roasting pan and rack anywhere. You can use those heavy black rectangular trays that are everywhere to roast the bird in. Last year I tried to prop it up on little tartlette molds but it didn't work too well. But it's not a huge deal, it just means that the bottom will be a bit soggy, but if you roast breast side up that's the back and who eats the back anyway? This year I have a new oven and it came with a roasting pan and rack, thankfully.

Did you try Dona Clara? I'm 90% sure they have cooking pans big enough. THey are big square pans for cakes but you can use it for the bird.

All this talk about Thanksgiving is really making me think I should have T-day dinner... But maybe on Saturday.
