Growing up, turkeys were always cooked in the oven to perfection. However, that has drastically changed over the last several years. Many people are choosing to fry their beloved bird, as their argument is a fried turkey is always moister and tastes better. When it comes to turkey fryer safety, I would like to quote one of our family and consumer sciences expert Dr. Elizabeth Andress, “People who fry turkeys say it produces a moister turkey and it’s quicker, but in the eyes of safety experts, the typical propane-fueled fryer is a major accident waiting to happen. There are safety issues to consider.” Here are some tips from UGA Food experts: Don’t Use too much Oil Filling the pot too full of oil can cause the oil to spill over when the turkey is placed in the pot. Not only does to much oil create an oily mess, but spillovers at cooking temperature can also cause severe burns. If you want to be on the super safe side, Dr. Andress suggests placing the turkey in a pot before marinating and add enough water until it reaches 1 to 2 inches above the turkey. Then remove the turkey and mark the water level. Pout out the water and dry the pot, then add oil. Food Safety by the fryer Making sure all harmful bacteria is killed prior to placing the turkey in the pot is a must. The best way to do this is to make sure the oil temperature is 365 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, which usually takes 45 minutes to an hour. To be sure your bird is safely cooked, the temperature must reach 165 degrees F. Some cooks prefer the innermost part of the thigh to reach 180 degrees. Safety measures (UGA CAES Newswire) • Never use turkey fryers on wooden decks or inside garages.

Burns. “I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Speaker David Ralston for his 13 years of unwavering leadership and for showing me that serving the people of Georgia should never be taken lightly. While the political demographics of the state may be shifting, Georgians have yet again, chosen Republicans to guide the policies and direction of the people’s House. As a servant leader, I will work shoulder to shoulder with legislators on both sides of the aisle to ensure our state is a safe and prosperous place to raise a family and earn a living. May God bless this state we so dearly love.” The Speaker of the House is elected by and from the members of the House of Representatives on the first day of each biennial legislative session. The House of Representatives will officially elect a new Speaker when the House convenes for the first day of the 2023-2024 legislative session on Monday, January 9, 2023. The Speaker of the House of Representatives serves as the presiding officer of the legislative body. As the chief administrative officer for the House, the Speaker is responsible for determining the leadership and membership of House committees. The Speaker also presides over House floor sessions, enforces the rules of the House, assigns bills to committees and calls matters before the House for debate. Earlier this month, Speaker David Ralston announced that he would not seek a nomination for Speaker of the House for the upcoming session due to a recent health challenge. Speaker Ralston will serve in his current role for the remainder of the current term, after which he will continue to serve the citizens of the 7th District of Georgia in the House.
