Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet. Lightly dust a work surface with flour to avoid sticking. Unfold the dough and cut it into 3 long sections, then bisect those to create 6 pieces in total. Keep aside until needed.

Prepare the apple by removing the core, peeling, and slicing it. Meanwhile, create an egg wash by whisking an egg and water in a small bowl. Assemble in this order: Drizzle 1 tbsp honey, add 1 tsp butter and 1 tbsp brown sugar

Layer 6 apple slices, and top with puff pastry (see video).

Use a fork and seal the dough edges together. Brush the egg wash on top. 

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Serve & enjoy!

        The perfect Fried Turkey for Thanksgiving! Electric Deep Fried Whole Turkey is juicy, tender, crispy, and is extremely delicious. Fried Turkey is perfect for the holidays or any special occasion. The sweet flavor is brined and cooked into the meat as it seals in the absolutely mouthwatering essence of the Turkey.

But let’s be honest, the taste is what gets the meat picked from the bone and this recipe is simply succulent. Everyone that partakes in this meal will agree; this bird is soft, moist and is bursting with natural harmonies at each crispy bite. My family deboned this Turkey in one sitting.

        Equipment

        • Masterbuilt 10 Liter XL Electric Turkey Fryer 

        Ingredients
          

        • 12-18 lbs whole turkey
        • ¼ cup sea salt 1 ½ tbsp per-lb
        • 2 tbsp sugar ½ tsp per-lb
        • 11-13 qt peanut oil

        Instructions
         

        • [If using a frozen turkey; thaw in the refrigerator 48-72 hours prior to use.] Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and remove neck, giblets and package; reserve for giblet gravy or discard if you prefer.
        • Brine- In a small bowl: combine salt and sugar (see notes in the recipe for references per-lb). Clean, rinse and pat the turkey dry with paper towels. Rub the salt mixture all over turkey. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet, then place turkey on top of the wire rack (watch the video for reference). Place turkey in the refrigerator uncovered for 24 hours (up to 2 days).

        Frying **Read and follow ALL safety instructions and protocols**

        • Remove the turkey from refrigerator and let sit for 1-2 hour prior to frying. Make sure it is completely thawed and free from water. Do not rinse the salt off.
        • Make sure the drain valve is close before adding the peanut oil. Pour the oil to the max line (do not go above the line) and close the lid. Preheat the oil at 375°F for 45-60 minutes.
        • Place the whole turkey in the basket. Wear extreme heat resistant gloves, to protect hands and forearms. Use the lifting hook to lift the basket by the handle (see pictures and video for reference before proceeding to next steps).
        • Open the lid. THEN VERY SLOWLY & GRADUALLY LOWER the basket into the hot oil. (It took me about 5 minutes to lower the turkey in the hot oil). Close the lid and cook 3.5-4 minutes per-lb (see picture and video for reference).
        • While wearing your extreme heat resistant gloves: Use the lifting hook to secure basket handle, very slowly lift the basket out of the hot oil (slowly & carefully). Then using the baskets drain clips, hook the basket to the fryer's mounting position using the hole located atop the fryer (see picture and video for reference). Let turkey rest for 10 minutes. THEN, place basket with the turkey on a baking sheet and let the turkey rest until ready to serve/crave.

        Enjoy!

My family absolutely loves this recipe and we are sure your will too.

          In a separate bowl: add blueberries and 2 tsp of flour. Mix until coated and set aside.

          Preheat the oven to 350°F / 176°C. Lightly grease the loaf pan (8″x 4″) with softened butter & flour or line the inside of the pan with parchment paper.In a large separate bowl: add sugar, eggs and beat until pale yellow.

          Add vanilla extract, sour cream, milk and oil. Mix everything together until combined.

          In a bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda & baking powder together. Set aside until ready to use. (I highly recommend weighing your flour and sifting the dry ingredients before adding to the wet ingredients, this will make the batter fluffy and not lumpy). Add dry ingredients and mix.

          Add the blueberries into the bowl and gently toss them together with a spatula.

          Transfer the batter to the pan. 

          Optional: add extra blueberries on top of the batter. Sprinkle sugar on top of the batter.

          Slice & enjoy! Cover the leftovers in a container. Keep at room temperatures to up 2 days or refrigerate up to 6 days.
