TURKEY DRUMSTICKS

PRO/FATS - LEVEL ONE

Makes 4 servings

I have always loved deep fried turkey, but it’s a lot of work to heat a huge pot of oil and lower an entire turkey into it. Here’s a way get crispy, delicious, turkey legs without the mess!

Prep time: 3 minutes

Cooking time: 34-40 minutes

Peanut or vegetable oil for frying

4small turkey drumsticks (turkey wings work well too)

2tablespoons Somersize Tuscan Sea Salt Rub or Somersize Holiday Turkey Seasoning

Preheat oil in the Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer to 350° F.

Rub turkey legs generously with sea salt rub or turkey seasoning. Place 2 of the turkey legs into Frying Basket and lower into hot oil. Fry until well browned, 17-20 minutes, depending upon size. Repeat with remaining turkey legs. Drain (on paper towels) and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.

DEEP FRIED ROMAN ARTICHOKES

PRO/FATS AND VEGGIES - LEVEL ONE

Makes 4 servings

When has finger food tasted so good? You might want to make a double batch; they disappear in a flash!

Prep time: 6 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Peanut or vegetable oil for frying

3large artichokes (about 12 ounces each)

2lemons, halved Lemon wedges, for garnish Sea salt to taste

Preheat oil in the Somersize Electronic Deep Fryer to 350° F.

Trim stems, leaving at least 1 inch of stem on the artichokes. Cut off top 1½ inches of the artichokes with a serrated knife. Snap off outer layers of leaves until pale yellow leaves with pale green tips are exposed. Trim dark green fibrous parts from base and sides of artichoke with a paring knife. Rub cut surfaces of artichokes with lemon.

Trim thick sides off of the stems to expose pale inner stem. Cut off any green tops of the leaves then cut artichoke lengthwise into quarters to create 4 wedges. Cut out purple leaves and fuzzy choke. Rub cut surfaces with lemon.

Pat artichokes dry with paper towels. Place half of the artichokes in Frying Basket and lower into hot oil. Fry until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well (on paper towels) and season with salt. Repeat with remaining artichokes.
