It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving will be here in a few short days. 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 nominated as
Georgia’s 74th
Speaker of the House
On Monday, November 14th, State Representative Jon Burns (R-Newington),
was nominated by his colleagues in the House Republican Caucus to serve as the
Speaker of the House for the 2023-2024 legislative session.
“I want to thank the members of the Georgia House Republican Caucus
for nominating me as their Speaker and trusting me to be at the helm of our
legislative body come January,” said
Rep. 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.
