Make sure to check both holes

That is the bit of advice that someone should have given us befoer deep-frying the turkey. I knew there should be a bag of giblets somewhere, but we just couldn’t find them. Why don’t they just put them in the same hole as the turkey neck?

To prevent scenarios like the ones here, Leah bought a fire extinguisher and had it at the ready for the turkey drop.

The turkey was never left unattended

and took a very long hour to cook.

and it turned out great (though filled with a magically unmelted bag of steamed giblets).
