Hey y'all, my wonderful Aunt Peg joined me in the kitchen to cook our final dish before the holiday.  If you hadn't guessed, it's the big one!  Literally.  It’s Turkey! 

There are so many ways to cook a turkey, from roasting to braising to grilling, boiling, broiling and barbecuing!  We chose to do a Southern-style favorite: deep-frying!  We use a Butterball Indoor Electric Turkey Fryer, which is a good solution if you live in cold weather and can't fry your turkey outside. 

Deep-frying a turkey is an incredibly fast way too cook, keeps the turkey very moist and full of flavor,  and the clean up is very easy.  However, it can be incredibly dangerous.  Every year you hear stories of deep-fried turkeys blowing up, so please, if you decide to cook your Thanksgiving turkey this way, BE CAREFUL!

Thanksgiving is a week away.  Over this week we’ll be talking about turkey.  Hope y’all are excited.  Remember, we're asking you to send in your dishes AFTER you cook your Thanksgiving dinner.  That way you can have a family member or friend take pictures and video of you preparing your Thanksgiving meal and then send it in to Get Cookin' for the activity challenges!  We will announce the winners of each of the dishes, after the holiday.  So don't forget to have someone take pictures and video of your brilliant work!

Now, if you want to send it your dishes every week like usual, we welcome you do that, and we'll still post them on the Community Dishes blog.  You can submit for each week's theme starting that week and lasting up until the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  There will be eight winners this month, two from each of the Thanksgiving dishes.  Each winner will get a signed copy of my book 'Paula Deen Celebrates', which has recipes for every holiday of the year, from Thanksgiving to Elvis's birthday!

Love and Best Dishes,

Paula
