re: "Crawfish"-boiled a turkey yesterday

I had a fried turkey that was injected with crab boil last year. The worst I've ever had. Way too over powering.

I fried a turkey one time early on in my cooking career and it turned out great. Got pretty proud of myself. It was just a random night, not Thanksgiving or nothing. I followed a recipe that called for shooting it up with various things, one of which was white wine. Well next Thanksgiving rolls around and I spout off that I'm going to handle the turkey cooking at my grandmas house. My dad was leery but ended up giving me the reins. This time I decided since white wine worked so well I would try red wine. Really bad move. I fried her up perfectly but when we went to carve it up it looked like the turkey had fell victim to repeated instances of blunt force trauma. Big terrible looking dark blotches of red riddled my birds carcass. It didn't really taste that bad but nobody could get over the sight of it. Some even shrieked in horror. I was mortified. Luckily aunt June had a baked boot leather bird on stand by and I gave Rodney King to the dogs.
