Pumpkin Pie

By: Charlie

There’s something about the first slice of pumpkin pie that makes the holidays feel official. After years of testing different recipes, I’ve landed on this one—and honestly, I haven’t looked back. What I love most is how straightforward it is. No fussy techniques, just a silky pumpkin filling that tastes like autumn itself, cradled in […]

Hacky Thanksgiving

It’s that time of year when we eat perhaps a little too much food, and have maybe just a few too many sips of red wine. But it’s also when we think about what we’ve been grateful for over the past year. And here at Hackaday, that’s you all: the people out there making the crazy projects that we get the pleasure of writing about, and those of you just reading along. After all, we’re just the hackers in the middle. You are all Hackaday.

And it’s also the time of year, at least in this hemisphere, when the days get far too short for their own good and the weather gets frankly less than pleasant. That means more time indoors, and if we play our cards right, more time in the lab. Supercon is over and Hackaday Europe is still far enough in the future. Time for a good project along with all of the festive duties.

So here we sit, while the weather outside is frightful, wishing you all a pleasant start to the holiday season. May your parts bin overflow and your projects-to-do-list never empty!

Bitcoin’s November Slump Could Trigger A 2026 Revival, Analysts Say

Bitcoin dropped sharply this month and is set to post one of its worst Novembers in years, leaving traders and fund managers weighing whether to buy or hold fire.

Based on reports, the token is down about 18% for November and was trading below $91,000 as markets quieted heading into the weekend.

Market Cleansing Opens The Door For Buyers

According to CoinGlass, this decline approaches the scale of losses seen in November 2019, when Bitcoin fell roughly 17%, and is far from the harsh 35% crash of November 2018.

Reports have disclosed that some analysts view the drop as a market reset. Nick Ruck, research director at LVRG, said overleveraged positions and weak projects have been mostly cleared out, which could let longer-term holders add exposure at lower prices.

Technical Levels Take Center Stage

Traders are watching a pair of monthly-close levels closely. An analyst using the handle CrediBull Crypto identified $93,400 and $102,400 as the two most relevant thresholds.

A close above $93,000 would be interpreted as a modest positive sign, the analyst said, while any monthly finish above $102,000 would be read as very bullish — though that may not happen until another month.

Bitcoin changed hands around $91,450 in midweek trade, failing to break a resistance just under $92,000.

Cycle Changes And Institutional Flows

Based on reports from industry sources, some market watchers think the rhythm of rallies has shifted since the arrival of spot Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024.

According to some analysts, institutional participation has altered the timing and breadth of moves. That has meant gains that once clustered at year-end can show up earlier.

Market experts pointed out that November is usually a strong month for Bitcoin, and that a red November has often been followed by a red December in past years.

A Stalemate Between Bulls And Bears

Matrixport described the market as a rare zone of impasse where sentiment, positioning and macro cues are all converging. Reports noted that Bitcoin rebounded above $91.8K during Thanksgiving, but the move did little to resolve the split between bullish and bearish expectations.

Liquidity has thinned, volatility has dropped, and requests for crash protection have faded. Glassnode added that realized losses have risen and futures markets are deleveraging, signs that short-term conviction is weak. That mix leaves the market stuck between a push toward $100K and a slide down to $80K.

Signs Point To A Big Move, Direction Unknown

A bullish hammer reversal emerged when Bitcoin briefly touched the $80K area, giving some traders hope of a rally into the holiday season.

Others say weak demand and thin liquidity could push prices lower before confidence returns. In either case, markets have been quietly positioning for a larger directional move, even if nobody can say for sure which way that move will go.

For now, Bitcoin sits in a cautious in-between. Investors and traders will be watching the monthly close, liquidity measures and options flows for clues.

The next clear signal could decide whether late buyers get rewarded — or whether sellers set a new range.

How to Handle Edibles In Front of the Family on Thanksgiving

By: K. Astre

It’s that time of the year when everyone is coming together to celebrate everything they are grateful for with the people they love and a lot of food. Whether you’re going to be chilling at home with your loved ones, heading to an extended family member’s house for a big Thanksgiving feast or putting together a special Friendsgiving, you definitely want to know how to handle your edibles to ensure you can enjoy the day your way without making anyone else feel uncomfortable.

If you plan on partaking in edibles to enhance your Thanksgiving experience, there are a few things to consider before you commit to your plan. Do you want to arrive before or after the edibles kick in? Should you eat enough of your edible to make it last a while or consume it in a few smaller doses to keep you nice and evenly lit throughout the celebration? The details are really up to you, although there are some basics to follow that will ensure that you not only make it through the meal but through the entire day with a little grace.

Don’t Overdo It

Although you might have a usual amount of THC that hits the spot when you’re eating edibles, you should plan to have a little less than normal on days when you might need to have more of your wits about you. Even if you have a long car ride ahead of you or know that you will be sitting around for a few hours until the food is finished, don’t go overboard or you most likely end up sleeping through the festivities.

Give Yourself a Minute

Depending on when you eat your edibles, it may take a little longer than usual for you to feel the effects of them — particularly if you choose to eat them during (like with these recipes) or after you get nice and full. If that happens, then you will be a little more patient and wait to feel the way you’re typically used to. Just resist the urge to have more of your edible and you will be fine.

One Thing At a Time

If you have decided you want to enjoy edibles for the day, then just stick with edibles until you’re home or the party has ended. It may be tempting to go take a puff or dab with your favorite cousin or sneak your vape with you, but for your own sake, just take it easy. The same goes for wine and spirits, so make sure you have made your choice so that you won’t regret overindulging later.

Have a Back-up Plan

Getting higher than planned after eating an edible can happen to the best of us. If that happens, there are a couple of things you can do to make sure you are able to keep your cool and come back down to earth. First things first, have some CBD help calm things down. If things don’t settle, you can follow some of these tips for what to do if you get too high, which include finding an entertaining distraction, going for a stroll or just taking a nap.

Stick With What You Know

Yes, special days do call for special treats, but it’s probably best to stick to an infused snack that you have tried before just to be on the safe side. Even if you are pretty confident about how 10 mg or 50 mg of THC makes you feel on a normal day, there’s no use taking any risks with an unfamiliar brand that may be using an oil or strain you aren’t used to. So, you will have to wait to try that new soda or spicy nut mix until you’re in an environment where you can relax and see how it affects you.

A North Texas Barbecue Family Serves Its Last Charity Thanksgiving Meal

Decades ago, the late Hubert Green began an annual tradition of cooking a Thanksgiving meal for free at the Euless Senior Center. This year’s feast, on November 12, was the last served by the Green family.Hubert founded North Main BBQ just down the street from the senior center in 1981. A black-and-white pig statue greeted diners outside the front door, and the pitmaster would fire up an armadillo-shaped smoker around back. Both are now gone. Hubert and his second wife, Shari McKay Green, passed away in 2017. The business went to the McKay side of the family, was sold twice, and eventually closed.When Hubert died, his son Don Green had already opened his own barbecue trailer in Euless, the Saturdays-only Green’s Texas Bar-B-Que.

The Discreet Stoner’s Guide to Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude… and the annual tradition of keeping your cool when Uncle Arthur brings up politics before dessert. Between dodging Aunt Linda’s “helpful” remarks about your life choices and enduring your cousin’s 17-minute explanation of their job, it’s no wonder so many people approach the holiday with a mix of excitement and existential dread. But there is another way: discreet cannabis products.

Whether it’s a low-dose gummy to keep you zen while Grandma critiques your mashed potatoes or a discreet dab to make your third helping of pumpkin pie even more delicious, we could all use a little extra holiday support. And after the last election cycle, we might all need the calming effects of weed to help us deal with our families. And let’s not forget about how anxiety-inducing holiday travel can be: flight delays, big crowds and lots of people in a hurry. Even if you’re not a stoner or regular cannabis user, you may be popping some edibles when the stress of traveling during the holidays hits. And then there are the folks out there meeting new people for the first time—like your boyfriend’s extended family. It’s exciting and dreadful all at the same time. With the help of the right discreet cannabis products, your holidays can be less stressful and more fun. Yes, please.

Danksgiving Fun: Pumpkin Rig With BHO-Infused Seeds

There’s one thing that thousands of folks look forward to every Autumn season. It’s not the changing trees or brisk breeze. It’s pumpkin. Pumpkin coffee, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin scents and decorations and now, one more way to celebrate everyone’s favorite gourd before the winter rolls in.

Making your own hash oil rig out of a pumpkin is easy, and you likely have most of the pieces at home already. Danksgiving is the perfect day to get started.

The Pumpkin Rig

MATERIALS NEEDED

1 medium-sized pumpkin

1 metal spoon

1 paring knife

1 glass downstem with flat bottom

1 dab nail that fits into the downstem

1 glass piece to act as mouthpiece (extra glass bowl, adapter, etc.)

paper towels

bowl for collection of pumpkin guts (optional)

DIRECTIONS

1. First step is choosing the pumpkin. Choose a pumpkin that is not a challenge to hold, but is big enough to accommodate the length of the downstem when it is inserted.

2. Next, hollow out your pumpkin by cutting a hole around the stem at the top, effectively creating a lid for the rest of the pumpkin. Clean out the inside of the gourd by scraping out the seeds and squishy pumpkin insides with the metal spoon. If you want to make delicious treats with the seeds later, put the pumpkin guts in a bowl and place it to the side.

3. After the pumpkin is hollowed out, make a hole for the downstem an inch or two away from the pumpkin lid. Make the hole by using the paring knife and gently twisting it while cutting into the pumpkin so you create a hole for the downstem to be inserted through. Once the hole is large enough, gently twist the downstem into the hole. If you encounter too much resistance, try hollowing it out more with the knife — glass is fragile! It also helps to have a downstem with a flat bottom over a curved or closed off bottom, as those are harder to insert into the pumpkin. Once inserted, put the nail into the downstem.

4. Repeat the hole process on the opposite side of the pumpkin as well, for the mouthpiece. You can use anything, like a spare glass bowl for a pipe or an adapter piece from a rig. Make sure both downstem and the mouthpiece are fully flush with the surface of the pumpkin, inserted as far as possible.

5. Check for extra stray bits of pumpkin, as those can come through the mouthpiece on the very first pull. Put the lid back on and take an inhale to check for air-tightness. If you can feel the pull on the nail go ahead and heat it up — you’re ready to go!

6. It can be helpful to have a friend to assist with the dabbing, as balancing the pumpkin and seeing to the other side can make aiming your concentrates a bit more difficult. Also, it’s fun to lift the lid and finish off the hit by submerging your face into the vapor. Perfect for any holiday occasion!

Got the munchies after hitting a few globs out of the pumpkin rig? The pumpkin is the stoner tool that keeps on giving — you can make some dank munchies from the pumpkin seeds you removed during the hollowing process described above with the easy steps below.

Oven-Roasted PumpkinSeeds with BHO-Infused Olive Oil

INGREDIENTS

2-3 tablespoons olive oil
pumpkin guts from freshly-carved pumpkin
salt
decarboxylated hash oil

DIRECTIONS

1. To decarboxylate hash oil, put the concentrate in a heat-resistant container and then into the oven at 200°F for approximately 20 minutes. This activates the THC-A into THC, which makes for a potent edible experience. It can be beneficial to store decarbed oil in the freezer, which makes it brittle and easier to work with when using it.

2. While constructing the pumpkin rig, preheat an oven to 350°F.

3. Save the pumpkin guts from the carving of the pumpkin, placing them to the side in a bowl.

4. Melt the decarbed concentrate into 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil, using a small saucepan on the stove on low temperature. Amount of hash will vary depending on user tolerance, for a small dose try 0.20 grams, for a stronger effect try a half-gram. Gently whisk the oil until the hash is dissolved in the liquid, taking care not to overheat the mixture.

5. Separate the pumpkin seeds from the rest of the pumpkin material as much as possible and place them into a strainer. Rinse the seeds under cold water and then pour on to a paper towel. Pat dry.

6. Pour seeds onto a cookie sheet and pour the medicated oil on the seeds, adding a pinch of salt and stirring the seeds until they are well coated.

7. Pop the seeds into the oven, and take a few dabs out the pumpkin rig while you wait.

8. After 10 minutes, take the seeds out of the oven and stir.

9. After another 10 minutes (20 minutes total) remove from oven and let cool. Enjoy the crunchy hash-infused treats at your leisure. Sprinkle on ice cream, top a salad, or just eat by the handful.

How are you celebrating Danksgiving?

The Thanksgiving Turkey Steven Raichlen will be Making This Year – With a Twist!!

Planning Thanksgiving on the grill opens up a whole new world of flavor, and this year we’re taking you through it step by step. The Barbecue Bible Complete Thanksgiving Guide is a three-part series designed to help you build your entire holiday meal outdoors—from the main turkey, to the sides, to the show-stopping alternatives if you’re ready to try something different.

Each post digs into the techniques, gear, and recipes that make live-fire Thanksgiving cooking not just possible, but deeply satisfying. Whether you’re chasing crisp skin, smoky depth, or dishes that bring a spark to the table, this guide walks you through the essentials so you can create a feast that feels fresh, fun, and full of flavor.


The Thanksgiving Turkey Steven Raichlen will be Making This Year

Over the years, I’ve written a lot of recipes. More than 4000 by recent reckoning!

And over the years, as Thanksgiving approaches, I’ve written a lot of turkey recipes. Dozens, if not more.

I’ve marinated turkeys Miami-Cuban style, with adobo (cumin, garlic, and sour orange), and served them with mojo (fried garlic lime sauce)

I’ve stuffed turkeys under the skin with truffles and butter.

Truffle Stuffed Smoked Turkey

I’ve blasted turkey breasts with pastrami spice and cured them with citrus and rock salt.

I’ve cooked turkeys on the rotisserie, on beer cans, on the grill, and in my smoker.

But there’s one turkey I keep coming back to: bourbon-brined turkey smoke-roasted in a kamado.

It’s the turkey I’ll be preparing for Thanksgiving this year, and it never fails to bring down the house.

Bourbon-Brined Turkey

So let me break it down for you.

First, the bird. I always buy an organic bird—ideally around 12 to 14 pounds. Organic, because I know it was cleanly and humanely raised. Twelve pounds because it’s easier to stay on top of the cooking. If I have a lot of people to feed, I buy two birds that size. I don’t like cooking 20-pound monsters—it’s too hard to insure even cooking and accurate doneness.

D'artagnan Turkey

Next the brine. Turkey breast is intrinsically dry. Brining adds moisture. I like to flavor my brine with bourbon, which adds a sweet, woodsy flavor. (Bourbon is aged in charred oak barrels. Wood + fire? It’s the liquid equivalent of barbecue.

I also flavor my brine with lemon zest, cloves, and bay leaves). Turkey needs salt, so the salt in the brine provides flavor too.

Brining Turkey

As for the cooking, I use a method I call smoke-roasting. You do it at a higher temperature than traditional smoking, and that helps cook and crisp the skin. (Traditional smoking produces great tasting meat, but rubbery skin.)

As for the smoke component, turkey is one of those meats that just begs for the soulful tang of woodsmoke. I typically use oak or hickory, but any hardwood will do. Except, possibly, for mesquite, which produces a stronger smoke than the other hardwoods. But, hey, if you like mesquite, smoke your bird with that.

As for the cooker, I typically use a kamado (like a Primo or Big Green Egg). I like how the thick ceramic walls and felt gasket between the cook chamber and lid seal in moistness. But I’ve also smoke-roasted turkey on a charcoal kettle grill and in a pellet grill. All will produce admirable birds.

This year, I’m adding one new twist to the traditional Raichlen bird. I’m taking a page from the fried turkey school. Smoke-roasting produces a turkey skin that’s crisper than traditional smoking. But not as crackling crisp as a fried turkey.

So once my bird comes off the grill, I’m placing it on a wire rack over a roasting pan. I’ll heat a couple cups of vegetable oil to 350 degrees in a saucepan. And I’ll CAREFULLY ladle the hot oil over the bird—carefully—to crisp the skin just before serving.

Thanksgiving Turkey: Frequently Asked Questions

Why brine a turkey before smoking or roasting?
Turkey breast can dry out fast. Brining helps it pull in moisture and seasoning so the meat stays juicy and flavorful.
What size turkey cooks most evenly on a grill or smoker?
A 12–14 pound bird is ideal. It cooks more predictably, holds moisture better, and avoids the uneven doneness big birds often have.
What wood works best for smoke-roasting turkey?
Oak, hickory, apple, or pecan pair well with poultry. Mesquite works too, but has a stronger flavor that not everyone loves.
How do I get crisp skin when smoking a turkey?
Use higher “smoke-roast” temps and finish by ladling hot oil over the bird. It adds a fried-style crackle without deep-frying.
Can I make this recipe on a kettle or pellet grill?
Absolutely. A kamado holds moisture best, but kettle and pellet grills can produce great results with the same method.

Smoked Turkey

Smoked Turkey

Juicy Meat & Crispy Skin Every Time

This smoked turkey is all about big flavor and perfect texture — juicy meat with crispy, bite-through skin. The secret isn’t complicated: a simple brine, a good dry, and steady heat on the pit.

Once the bird soaks up that flavor, I let the skin dry out, season it from top to bottom, and smoke it low and slow over pecan wood. The result is golden skin that crackles when you slice and meat so tender it practically drips juice.

Serve it hot off the board for Thanksgiving dinner and show off what a real smoked turkey should taste like.

Description

Juicy, smoky, and crisped to perfection — this smoked turkey is everything a holiday bird should be. Tender, flavorful, and kissed with just the right amount of smoke — it’s turkey done right.


Ingredients

  • 1 whole turkey (1218 lbs), thawed
  • HowToBBQRight Ultimate Brine Kit
    • OR
      • 1 bottle Malcom’s Bird Brine
      • 1 bottle Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
      • 1 bottle Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning
      • Meat Bag
  • Water (enough to completely submerge turkey)
  • 1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 1 apple, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • Cooking spray or oil (for coating the skin)
  • Chicken Rack (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brine the Turkey
    1. Mix one bottle of Bird Brine with 1 gallon of water until dissolved. Place the turkey in a large brining bag or container and pour the brine mixture over the bird. Add enough cold water to completely submerge.
    2. Seal the bag (or cover the container) and refrigerate for 24 hours. For larger turkeys (over 16 lbs), brine up to 48 hours.
  2. Dry and Prep
    1. Remove the turkey from the brine and discard the liquid. Pat the skin completely dry with paper towels—this is key to getting crispy skin.
  3. Stuff the Cavity
    1. Place the celery, onion, apple and garlic (use whatever aromatics you like) inside the cavity.
    2. Tie the legs together and tuck the wing tips underneath so the turkey cooks evenly.
  4. Oil and Season
    1. Lightly coat the entire surface of the turkey with cooking spray or oil.
    2. Season the backside first with a medium coat of Killer Hogs AP Seasoning, followed by a medium coat of Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning.
    3. Flip the turkey onto a rack and repeat on the top side with the same layers of seasoning.
  5. Smoke the Turkey
    1. Preheat your smoker or grill to 275°F using pecan pellets (or your preferred wood).
    2. Place the turkey on the pit, centered for even airflow, and cook until the internal temperature in the deepest part of the breast reaches 160°F.
  6. Rest and Serve
    1. Remove the turkey from the smoker and rest for 20 minutes. The internal temperature will carry over to about 165°F in the breast and 175°F in the dark meat.

 

That’s how you smoke a turkey that comes out juicy every single time — with golden, crispy skin and that rich, smoky flavor you can only get from cooking it low and slow. Keep it simple, trust the process, and you’ll carve into the best turkey you’ve ever put on the table.

Doubled Smoked Ham

By: Charlie

Double smoking a ham might seem like extra work, but it’s actually one of the easiest ways to elevate a holiday meal. You’re taking a fully cooked ham and smoking it to add layers of flavor that oven-baking just can’t achieve. The diamond scoring creates pockets for the glaze to settle and caramelize into a […]

THC-Infused Cream Caramel Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving is one of my most cherished holidays in American culture. It is a harvest festival where the appreciation of family, friends, blessings, emotional wealth and material wealth take center stage. The worlds slows down momentarily for one night where you are surrounded by loved ones and are able to give thanks for all your blessings and successes freely. It is a time for nourishing food that warms the soul and fills the belly.

So what could possibly make this day even better? The answer would be making a delightful and elegantly medicated Cream Caramel Spiced Pumpkin Pie. The wonderful thing about this recipe is that the Cream Caramel strain pairs beautifully with the pungent spices and sweet custard that make up a pumpkin pie. This superb dessert will enhance your Thanksgiving Day experience and will be something you will want to repeat for the years to come.

Mise en Place:

9 inch pie tin
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 stick chilled sweet butter
4 tablespoons ice water
1 teaspoon cane sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups canned pureed pumpkin
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 whole eggs
1/2 stick sweet butter infused with Cream Caramel
1 teaspoon maple extract
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground allspice with ½ teaspoon in reserve
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions for Pie Crust:

Step 1: For this recipe, you need to start the dough the night before or one hour before cooking time for the crust to set properly. In a bowl combine 1 ¼ cups all purpose flour, cane sugar and salt.

Step 2: With a knife, cut the stick of butter into 8 slices and drop into the bowl. Mix by hand until the butter starts to meld with the dry mix. Add in 4 tablespoons of ice water and continue to combine until the mixture is fully incorporated.

Step 3: Roll into a semi-flat circle, about 6-8 inches wide, and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or for one hour prior to cooking time.

Step 4: When the dough is properly chilled and you are ready to bake, roll out the dough onto a floured surface and transfer to your 9 inch pie tin. Flatten the dough into the tin and pinch the edges to form a crust on the top. Take a fork and pierce little holes throughout the bottom and sides of the crust. This prevents the crust from bubbling out during the baking process.

Directions for Filling:

Step 5: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the 2 cups pureed pumpkin, condensed milk, 2 whole eggs, Cream Caramel cannabutter, maple extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and ginger until fully combined.

Step 6: Pour your pumpkin mixture into your pie crust and lightly tap the pan against a counter to release any air bubbles. Take the 1/2 teaspoon reserve of allspice and lightly sprinkle the entire top of the pie.

Step 7: Put the pie into the oven and bake for 55 minutes. Pull from oven and let the pie set at room temperature. Slice into 8 servings.  Decorate with fresh whipped cream and serve al la mode for the most comforting holiday dessert. Enjoy!

Dosage:

If a gram of flower tests at 18 percent THC, eighteen percent of 1,000 mg would be 180 mg, so your entire pie would have 180 mg of THC in it. To figure out your dosing, sub the number of your THC percentage in the amount of flower you want and do the math to determine how potent you want your pie. If you want a smaller dose, cut the flower down to a smaller portion.

Strain Suggestions:

I would recommend strains that possess caramel, syrupy, earthy, sandalwood or spice terpenes and flavonoids. The following would be ideal if you didn’t have Caramel Cream: Maple Leaf, Vanilla Kush, Spice or Hashplant. If you cannot find these strains, don’t panic, just follow your nose and taste buds to finds strains that would complement the dish.

TELL US, how would you celebrate a medicated Thanksgiving?

  2. Place the turkey in Meat Bag or large container and pour in the bottle of Bird Brine. Add 2 gallons of water (enough to completely submerge the bird) and place in the refrigerator or in a cooler on ice for 24-48 hours.
  3. Remove turkey from brine and allow to drain. Place on a wire rack over a sheet pan and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours to dry the skin. (It helps to pat the excess moisture off the skin with paper towel)
  4. Prepare pellet grill for indirect smoking at 275°F using pecan pellets.
  5. Spray the skin with the cooking spray – or another oil – and season with AP seasoning on all sides.
  6. Place the turkey in the smoker breast side up until an internal meat probe hits about 150° F.
  7. Set up a turkey fryer for deep frying at 350°F using peanut oil for best flavor. Any clear frying oil will work.
  8. Remove the turkey from the smoker and insert the turkey frying rod/hanger through the cavity.
  9. Leave the meat probe inserted in the thickest part of the breast to monitor internal temperature while frying.
  10. Carefully lower the turkey breast side down into the hot oil. Use extreme caution and follow the turkey fryer directions carefully.
  11. When the internal temperature reaches 165°F in the breast, carefully remove the turkey from the hot oil allowing it to drain. Place the turkey immediately on a cutting board breast side up and remove the turkey frying rod/hanger.
  12. Season the outer skin with King Craw Cajun Seasoning and let the bird rest for 5-10 minutes before carving.
