As you know, my last name is Chauvin (pronounced Show-Van).   There is a little fishing community some 70 miles south of New Orleans called “Chauvin, LA”.   No, I’ve never lived there personally but my grandfather was born there and our family ties run deep in Cajun country.   My turkey frying knowledge, I guess, came from this little town that bears my last name.   I myself have been frying turkeys for as long as I can remember and here’s how I do it:   Supplies needed:   A turkey fryer. You can buy the entire set-up for around $100 at Academy.   The set-up comes with a stand, thermometer, propane hose and hookup, plus the pot and all the accessories needed for dropping the turkey in/out of the pot.   (Propane NOT included) Welding gloves or barbecue gloves (also available at Academy).
