This trip, Guy Fieri's gobbling up Thanksgiving with an hour of talking turkey. From Boston to California, Wisconsin to Florida, he's digging into everything from the traditional dinner to turducken, turkey-shaped bread loaves, and a complete turkey dinner fried into bite-sized balls. Plus, serious sandwiches perfect for all the leftovers. So, get a place at the table for a bite of this holiday bird.
Whether or not the Pilgrims ate turkey at the first Thanksgiving is debatable, but one thing is not: if they'd had a propane tank and five gallons of hot oil they'd have deep-fried the turkey for sure. Alton Brown takes on the new American tradition of deep-frying the big bird in an effort to prevent future backyard disasters from flaring up. Along the way, he talks turkey flavor and texture to ensure that we all get the most out of our birds, without getting burned.
