Fried Turkey for Thanksgiving?
Hello All,
I will be visiting family in New Orleans for Thanksgiving, and was wondering if someone could suggest any places that might selling fried turkey for Thanksgiving?
Many thanks!

Although I have no idea who might be doing this I'm sure someone is...if you have a choice, I do recommend that you get one fried in hog lard...it is night & day.

Deanie's in Bucktown, Popeye's, and I'm sure many other places

Try Langenstien's but be sure to order it early. I think they stop taking orders a full week before Turkey Day. There is also a great place on the westbank that does turkeys, but I cannot remember the name. It may have been Adams, and it was on Belle Chase Hwy, right past the turn near the ferry.

I second the Popeye's suggestion, for what it's wroth.

My only experience with Popeyes fried turkey was not good. Bird was overcooked/dry. Seasonings were dumped on the finished product as I watched through the pick up window. This was a few years ago. Turkey quality may vary upon location as does their chicken.

Good point as to how things vary by location..Ip've never had a Popeye's fried turkey but I learned my aroundaround the better shops ywears ago.
I still think the things should be fried in lard but you almost certainly would not get the Good Stuff in town such as I buy in the country.
