Garbage can turkey? How?
Ive been with someone thats fried a turkey.. he already had all the stuff doen so i showed up and had a beer and watched. He had his turkey already injected and the oil warm when i got there. I thought it was canola oil until i got this one and it says everywhere.. peanut oil. It took around 45 minutes. I probably told everyone its really easy and delish.. cause it is. If I could remember.
Garbage can turkey is where you take a metal garbage can, turkey, burquets, rack.
Find a place outside that has loose dirt no rocks, grass, etc.
Make sure the garbage can has had a fire inside of it to burn off the galvanization. (think growing third eye, etc)
Put the turkey on a rack that keeps it at least an inch off the ground, put a tinfoil round tray underneath for the gravy.
Invert the garbage can over hte bird so the lip is in the ground and the bottom is sticking up in the air. Make sure teh lip is about an inch below the dirt
Also make sure that the turkey doesnt touch the side of the garbage can.
Get teh burquets good and hot. Then place them on the bottom and around the lip of the garbage can.
Keep adding burquets as it needs to be about 3.5 hours till cooked.
To cook potato's and carrots, etc. Put the garbage can lid, like a hotplate onto the burquets on the bottom of hte garbage can. Wrap them in tinfoil.
To remove, use a shovel to remove the burquets from around the can and the bottom.Then to lift the can off, Use two pairs of vice grips.
