Fried turkey is Thanksgiving’s answer to pufferfish: Delicious but potentially dangerous. Dropping a frozen turkey that hasn’t been fully thawed into a pot of boiling oil is a recipe for a traditional Thanksgiving explosion, but if you want a less stressful holiday dinner, Amazon is here to help. Prime members can get the Char-Broil Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-Less Turkey Fryer for just $79.99, with Prime shipping getting it to your door well before the big day. Amazon usually marks the oil-less fryer down to $88.19, but it’s knocking off another 10 percent for the holiday. The Big Easy can tackle turkeys that weigh up to 16 pounds. Since there’s no oil in play, you can rub the outside of your turkey with spices and seasonings, and the lack of oil makes the proceedings a bit healthier. Just hook up a propane tank and get cooking.
If you’re a turkey traditionalist who prefers an oven-roasted bird, Amazon hasn’t forgotten about you. It’s offering this non-stick 16-inch Calphalon roasting pan with rack, two stainless steel lifters, and an injection baster for just $67.99, a huge discount from its $170.00 list price. The pan is big enough to cook a 25-pound turkey, so start planning how you’re going to use those leftovers.
