I'm not from the USA and ice always wanted to ask, is deep frying the turkey really how it's done or is it just a joke?

Most (99%) oven roast the turkey but the fattest of rednecks deep fry it to show reverence to their fat ancestors.

As a fat redneck, you're mostly correct. You just forgot to add the word drunk in there somewhere.

Imma fry one up in about half an hour. I'm also gonna start drinking in just a minute. My fat drunk uncle who lost several of his fingers in a fireworks incident is smiling down on me from redneck heaven.

Amazing answer, exactly why I I thought it was better to ask than Google it.

Nope it's definitely a thing. We've got a bird in the oven now, but some friends are bringing over another bird and their fryer this afternoon. Deep fried turkey is delicious, nevermind the fat jokes lol

Air fried is not deep fried though, similar results but no risk of explosion and the same as deep fried

there are some restaurants that hire a trailer truck full of friers and line them up in the car park to create an assembly line of fried turkeys.

The US is a very diverse country, some people deep fry their turkey, most people don't. Many families don't make turkey at all.
