Sorry, what? Deep frying a turkey? An actual turkey? A whole turkey? Is that a thing?

Also corn on the cob and buttermilk biscuits after the turkey fat has Infused the oil. Oh yes...

I.....I.....I really don't know what to say. You deep fry whole turkeys? And whole corn on the cob?

Mind you, in the UK we have fish and chip shops deep frying Mars bars, but it's not exactly common. Just a gimmick.

Deep frying a turkey is somewhat popular, but tempered by the seeming thousands of videos of people setting their house on fire.

I don't eat turkey but deep frying does not mean oily when done properly. That is a myth. The turkey wouldn't be greasy if deep fried. The skin is "seared" (for lack of a better word) and holds in the juices from the turkey, while keeping the oil out. Welcome to American culture.
