I know that the joke is that in the south we will fry just about anything. Not just green tomatoes, okra, chicken, and dill pickles... how 'bout frying a turkey this year?

I just finished reading a fiction book, How to Be Lost, and one of the characters was disappointed because she had to go home to NYC for the holidays (from her current home in the South). She was disappointed because she was going to miss the deep fried traditional turkey.
