I would walk over 100 oven baked turkeys to get to MY fried turkey......but to each his own IMO.

Well, I think it all depends on the chef.

The oven-baked turkey I did for thanksgiving last year blew almost any fried turkey I've ever had away. But I think that was exception.

I had a feeling, I'd be in the minority here.

Most baked turkeys are overcooked.

However, I'd put a PERFECTLY baked one, hot with giblet gravy, up against a fried turkey, any day.

does anyone inject an oven baked turkey? I've never had a fried turkey made fresh...I've had one from Popeyes and one from Copelands. The one from Popeyes wasnt really fried...it actually had to get cooked in the oven another 2 hours I believe. It was one of the best turkeys i have ever had.

Depends on who fries the turkey. I have had many overcooked fried turkeys.. All things being equal I prefer a perfectly cooked fried turkey over a perfectly smoked turkey over a perfectly baked turkey.

Wait so Popeyes screwed up or they intended it to need to be further cooked? In BR there is no chance in hell I would trust those idiots to fry a turkey. They would probably still manage to screw up and give me only dark meat.

It came vacuum sealed with instructions to put it in the oven for another 2 hours or so. It tasted more like an injected turkey that they baked. IT was phenomenal. great flavor and REALLY juicy.

Popeyes fries them then freezes them, so you have to cook it 2 hours in the foil to thaw it out

in some places you can get a freshly fried one from popeyes the night before thanksgiving
