Nutrition INFO for Deep Fried Turkey
Hey Everyone! I'm getting together with family this weekend and you guys gave me some pretty good ideas for desserts, which I'm taking. But I just found out that we're having deep fried turkey. I've looked several places for the nutrion info for preparing turkey this way, everything I've found varies from a couple hundred calories to more than 600 calories for a 3 1/2 oz serving. I'm trying to get a close estimate before hand so that I can plan my meals for the day accordingly. I've already lost 4 pounds, so I don't want to undo all of my hard work at one family dinner! Thank you for whatever help you can provide!

lol My mouth started watering the minute I found out what was for dinner! That's why I'm really hoping to be able to eat it, even if it's the only thing I eat! I've read a couple things that say if you keep the temp above 350* the turkey doesn't absorb any more fat than if it were done in the oven.
Just wondering if I can trust that info and put that in my food diary so I can plan the rest of my meals around it?0 -

I've been looking for a fried turkey nutrition too. But I don't use oil.. I use a Charbroil Big Easy.

Any ideas? Seems like it has to be healthy, the fat melts off . . ..0
