November 2010: I was really nervous while I was rubbing the turkey down with this marinade. I was not only feeding adults but children and I kept worrying that the marinade would be to hot for the kids. I was amazed at how much "heat" the deep frying took out of the pepper and seasoning. My kids raved and the adults were in heaven. December 2011: We just used this recipe on a different set of friends and children. Exact same response. Everyone loved it. The thing I learned this time around: the oil is so expensive, so don't waste it. That meant this time we fried three turkeys and then removed the meat and ended up vacumn sealing it for future dinners.
