I've got 45 pounds of turkey fries to prepare for a state legislator's party. Does anyone have a "family recipe" for turkey fries?
Thanks much,
JB

Mizzou, I'll get back with you tomorrow. I always help the TPA guys here do there's. We clean and cook 150 lbs. for their annual fundraiser. I know I could get close, but let me make sure.
One thing for sure, do not unthaw them until you are ready to clean and bread them.
These guys are good, they have been doing this for 30+ years.

The guys from Cargill think they know how but I wanted to double-check with some others such as yourself.
The guys and dolls in the Missouri Legislature will thank you greatly.
Happy trails.

Here you go.
Take the fries out of the freezer and put them in the refrigerator about 24 hours before you are ready to clean and bread them.
You want them still partially frozen.
Our fries come in 5 lb. bags, when they are at the right stage you can break them in quarters. Drop them in hot water. You should just have to pich them to get the skins to come off. Put them off to the side until you get enough to bread.
You wil need:
1 dozen eggs
1 gal milk
10 - 15 lbs cracker meal
1 bag flour
salt and pepper to taste
mix 3 eggs to a quart of milk
mix 1 part flour to 4 parts corn meal add salt and pepper to taste.
Mix these well.
Add the cleaned fries to the milk mixture.
Strain them before adding to the cracker meal.
Roll them, cover them, any way to coat them.
We use the empty beer flats to put them in.
Put a layer of wax paper in the bottom, add a layer of the fries, another coat of wax paper, layer of fries, wax paper, fries, wax paper, = full box. Put another flat upside down on top, tape together and back in the frezer.
We cook ours frozen. If they thaw out they really tend to stick together, and the breading tends to fall off.
Cook at 325 - 350 degrees about 8 - 10 minutes.
Do not cook very far ahead of time, they are much better eaten fresh.
We usually do ours 2 weeks ahead of time, and try to cook them so the people can eat them fresh.
If u have any questions I'll check back in.
