When I received my very own Masterbuilt Turkery Fryer in the mail this week I was initially skeptical. Would it make my life easier, not harder? Would it produce the moist, delicious turkey I love, without making a huge mess and burning my fingers in the process? The answer? Yes. I kid you not, this machine is quite the thing when it comes cooking turkey this year. When I tried it this week the turkey came out perfectly cooked and tender. Best of all, I was able to cook the entire thing while my daughter was at school. Doing it for the first time while she wasn’t underfoot was helpful, though now I’ll be able to do it with her in the kitchen with no problem. It is that easy to use.
We all will be tackling a lot this Thanksgiving and I want to help make your cooking responsibilities easier. Fry up a turkey with this piece of machinery, Naptime Chef your Twice-Baked Potatoes and bake a nice big batch of Pumpkin Bars. That’s all you need for a great family meal!

I’ve never made a turkey except for once and that was in a bag…came out okay but I’d like to make a nice juicy turkey this year with all the trimmings for my family! I’d love to win one of those!!
This is a great way to make turkey all year round…especially in summer!
This would make my holidays easier as it would make me feel better about frying a turkey with two little ones running around!
We’re cooking a big turkey dinner in December at a Chalet we’re going to! This would be awsome to bring!! And so easy with all our kiddies!
I was just thinking this weekend I would fry a turkey this year. We are doing Thanksgiving on Saturday instead of Thursday so I wanted to do something a little different than the traditional roast to shake things up.
This would be SO wonderful for Thanksgiving and Christmas! We will be frying turkeys for both and I have to do it outside, with TONS of oil (which has to be pre-measured so it doesn’t spew hot oil all over the place when you put the turkey in, don’t ask me how I know this….) and then clean-up is – yuck! Very excited about this one! 🙂

I would love to try a deep fried turkey ( I have made a whole turkey one other time). I have seen this on tv and they make it look so good and easy peasy. Plus, it could be used for a boil.
I just moved away from all of my family and will be hosting my first Thanksgiving. I have never prepared a turkey before and would love to attempt a fried turkey. I come from a long line of great cooks, so the pressure is on to make this a good Thanksgiving meal.

3. Well, fried turkey happens to be my favorite. My grandpa use to always make one. Now, he is not in the best of health I could make him the fried turkey =)
Thanks so much.
This device would make my life so much easier during the holidays as we have our office in our home which means I’m on call at all times. My mother lives next door and depends on me for everything important in her life and I’m a Nana that is always on call for my 3 grandchildren. I’m not complaining about any of the above, it’s just that I never know what each day will bring so any appliance that can help be working while I’m doing other things would surely be a blessing to me. I also saw a demonstration of this on the news and they actually said this is a healthy way of making turkey which was surprising for a frying machine ♥Thank you, I love your postings by the way.
I’ve only had a deep fried turkey once and LOOOOVED it. I’d love to have a chance to make one myself!
I think this would be a big help time wise, also keeping less heating time in oven which heats up the house. Also always waiting on turkey to get done in oven so can cook other things. now wouldn’t have to wait.
I’m already signed up for your newsletter, and a fan on Facebook.
I have always wanted to try a fried turkey, but was afraid of those huge open pots with all that boiling hot oil. I live in an apartment, so that would never have been an option for me. But, this seems to be much more manageable, and a lot easier to use. If I won, I would be very excited to try a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.
I have never tried deep fried turkey, although I would very much like to. I cook for two or three families every year and think it would make my life much easier!
since moving “south” – they’ve always fried their turkeys – and i think it tastes much better! it’ll help me help the inlaws with their huge tgiving spread! thanks!
I like the fact that it has a Porcelain-coating inner pot…that equals easy clean up!!! Plus I like the fact that it uses less oil than the traditional fryers that I have always used in the past….It always feels like you waste so much oil when frying a turkey in those other huge fryers… I love the sleek design and stainless steel construction!! Very nice!! 😉
I was the first to comment so I think I should win one!
Love the sleek look and the fact it can be used inside!
I have not one, but two turkeys to produce this Thanksgiving. My son’s preschool class will have a true Thanksgiving Feast, for which I am to provide a lovely 12-14 lb. turkey. And then, a week later, I get to do it again for my own family. Good thing I like doing the turkey!
I’m on FB, and also subscribe to your newsletter. I love it!
This fabulous fryer would help me put the turkey on the table and not worry about whether or not it was going to be dry and tasteless. Fried turkeys rule, but I’ve never had the guts to fry one before – I think I would be able to do it with this thing!
I am a fan and receive your newsletter!
How will this help? Let me count the ways!!
A bunch of Italians and Russians will be eagerly awaiting my Turkey and I always have the “singles” which are just friends, or co-workers, or neighbors who have no place for Thanksgiving also waiting for the Turkey. This would allow me to cook 2 turkeys at the same time!!!! Truly helping out the day.
In the evening everyone makes turkey sandwiches that we go and bring to shelters for the homeless, and this way I can make a whole other Turkey just for that purpose while we are eating the first 2!!!!
Awesomeness!! I never win anything though, but the dream is a good one 🙂
This will make the turkey delicious!

I saw an excellent demonstration of this cooker on the Huckabee show the other night. I was so very impressed! Not only did they deep fry a beautiful turkey, but they also boiled veggies. It would be great for boiled seafood also. I’d use it for three: seafood, turkey, and veggies! I love the versatility.
I would love to try something new this Thanksgiving. Sounds like it would be very easy.

Liked, and subscribed. Not sure how it will help my holiday season other than creating something totally different. Never before fried a turkey or tried one. I would love to have this baby in my kitchen
I would love to win this my daughter is moving across country to DC and I want to send her off with a Wonderful Thanks giving this Year!
i cook turkey about 20 times a year! this would be an essential item in my kitchen! Phoenix Greek ouraniabishop@yahoo.com i’m looking forward to your cookbook in 2012! i give it 5 yummy’s in a review–I JUST KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE ONE OF MY FAVE COOKBOOKS!
This year I am having three grandchildren for Thanksgiving and would love to serve fried turkey and watch their smiles when we cook the bird in this wonderful machine!
i want my family to try something different this year for thanksgiving :o)
Wonderful idea. Thanks. Look forward to “fried turkey.”
This is our first year living together and I really want to impress him with a deep-fried turkey on our first Thanksgiving together. Maybe it’ll become a tradition oncee we start a family!
Cool blog, btw! Looking forward to the newsletters and seeing you on Facebook!
Although I’m not the best cook ever, I try. I too, have little ones at home. Three year old twins and a six year old. I love to try new recipes and techniques and this one looks like it’s delicious and a time-saver. How great to be able to free up my over for some other tasty Thanksgiving treats! Thanks for your posts, love the recipes and ideas.

This sounds great. My parents do one or two a year, but the process is SO messy and there’s alot of oil used. Plus I am not sure how safe the old fryers are with little ones around. I would LOVE to surprise my husband with one I made for the holidays.
I’m both a newsletter subscriber and FB fan. I would LOVE to free up our oven by using this great Turkey Fryer. We always have a full house and one little oven never seems to be enough. I can’t wait!! Thanks for the opportunity!
What a great way to to cook your holiday turkey! I would love one!
I always make Thanksgiving dinner and this would be wonderful to win!

I would love to have a juicy turkey for once!!!! My family over cooks it everytime!
Oh my goodness! My mother has been going on and on about frying a turkey, and I can only imagine the mess we’re going to make without this. I’ll admit frying a turkey is extremely intimidating, but I’m crossing my fingers that this handy, dandy, “little” gadget would help.

If I win this I will be giving it to my father-in-law. He loves frying turkeys for us all and we love the turkeys. It would really help him out because I think this would make his day easier and my mother-in-law would have much less mess to clean up!! 🙂

Deep fried turkey is the best for holidays,we always had to do outdoor fryer but it was freezing cold. It’d be wonderful to have a indoor fryer.
I would love to try this!

I would love to have the fryer because I adore turkey, but my father can’t stand the smell of it roasting, so I could plug the fryer in outside and get to enjoy my turkey.

We like to try new and fun recipes on Thanksgiving and a deep fried turkey would be the hit of the party!!
I was the first to comment on this post and I will keep posting until I win the turkey fryer! It would be awesome and a real treat to have one of these for my family. We always get together every year for the holidays!
We are having our pastor over for dinner on Thanksgiving and I would be nice not to have to worry about the turkey and be able to socialize for a change. My kids have been begging me to fry a turkey and we haven’t had an opportunity to get a fryer. This would be awesome for us.
I hope I win!!! I could use all the help I can get this year…

I just graduated from culinary arts school and want to make a memory making Thanksgiving. This would make that possible. I am almost 64 years old and starting my new career in food service.

This fryer will help me win in the annual “make a better turkey than my aunt” contest. In fact, that fryer is the only way I will ever win. LOL
I am a subscriber (susitravl@gmail.com) and a Facebook Fan (SusanBenegas).
I might be able to get everything ready to serve at the same time if I don’t have to use up all of my oven space with the turkey. That would be a first and also a wonderful thing!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Already got you on Facebook & Newsletter 🙂
The fryer will help me this holiday b/c I will be able to actually cook a turkey by myself! Its either this or one of those straight from the freezer in a bag turkeys from Walmart…please!
who wouldn’t love the fryer? What a nice thing!
The Masterbuilt would be great to have this holiday season. We usually fry a turkey or two for Thanksgiving and also for Christmas. With an electric fryer, we would be able to cook indoors instead of being at the mercy of the weather,
I signed up for your newsletter and I am a fan on FB. This Masterbuilt Butterball Turkey Fryer would be a lifesaver. My prep is so regimented because my oven is small so I end up having to do things days ahead to free up the oven on Thanksgiving.
I am a subscriber and FB fan already – love the recipes. Would love this machine. Sounds safer and easier than the traditional method of frying a turkey.
I am a subscriber to your newsletter. What a fabulous

It would help my husband in taking less time to prepare and
cook our Thanksgiving/Christmas turkeys! I like the size,
style and how easily it is cleaned after cooking.
Many thanks for the opportunity to win such a fabulous Masterbuilt
Turkey Fryer!

Very cool…we’ve always wanted to fry a turkey! The Masterbuilt Butterball Turkey Fryer will help me this Thanksgiving (and Christmas) by freeing up my oven. We’ve moved into a new house with a great (older) working oven, but only 1 oven rack. This would be a huge (tasty) help!
I have “liked” you on Facebook & subscribed to your newsletter.
I think this would really make my Thanksgiving dinner easier to make. I have a VERY small oven, and usually have to do my Turkey on the grill so I have room for the other stuff. What a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance of winning such a great prize. Happy Thanksgiving!
We love turkey at our house and love deep fried turkey even more! This won’t just be used at Thanksgiving but all year round!

This fryer would make my Thanksgiving the best ever. My oven is broken and I can’t otherwise bake a turkey.
Since I’m fulltiming in an RV, space is at a premium. I don’t have a traditional oven (only a microwave and 3 burner stove) and therefore no way to easily cook a turkey. This would be a great tool to help me make a fabulous holiday meal (as well as a great way to steam/cook other things for regular meals)

I would use it when my mom comes to visit this Christmas – haven’t seen her in over a year! I miss her sooooo much! I have not had her with me for Christmas in almost 3 years!
This would be wonderful as this is the Cajun way to cook a Turkey, and it would SO remind me of home!
Became a fan on your Facebook page too! Hope I win!!!!!!!!

The turkey fryer will help me NOT burn down the house!
The Masterbuilt Butterball Turkey Fryer will help me get out of the doghouse this holiday season! My husband has always wanted a turkey fryer and up until now I didn’t think they were very safe. The Masterbuilt Butterball Turkey Fryer has changed my mind. It would be nice to give my #1 boy a new toy this holiday season.
This fryer would help me turn out a great turkey in record time! I love smoked turkey but it takes soooo long.
It would help make a delicious deep fried turkey without having to get out my huge outdoor fryer.
I have never deep fried a turkey or tasted a deep fried turkey. Of course, I’ve always heard the stories that usually end in fire. I think it would be wonderful to be able to try a new method of making turkey this year. It sounds delicious! Thanks for the opportunity to win this!
