We did a test run today with Jordan's buddy Derek and our ward's missionaries so that we'd be prepared for the real deal. We learned a lot.
Lesson 1: Marinate the turkey the night before.
Lesson 2: Make sure you have enough oil. We thought 3 gallons of peanut oil would be enough, but it wasn't quite enough. We needed like an inch more of oil. Oh well.
Lesson 3: Make sure the burner is still lit when you put the turkey into the pot. We couldn't figure out why the oil wasn't reheating after we put the turkey in, and the burner had gone out. Whoopsie.
Lesson 4: Don't ever make any other kind of turkey. It's sooo yummy, plus it takes way less time to cook. (Half an hour for a 10 lbs turkey! Sweeeet!)
Happy Thanksgiving!
