Come Thanksgiving time, you might as well take a number and stand in line if you wish to use the oven. Why crunch numbers trying to calculate turkey baking times, when you can break tradition with this fried turkey recipe?
Just between you and me, the reason to try turkey wings instead of a full turkey is to free up some much-needed oven space. Question is, are you brave enough?
