The legs down method involves submerging the turkey in hot oil with its legs facing downwards, which can help the thighs cook more evenly. On the other hand, the legs up approach allows the legs to stick out of the oil, preventing them from getting too greasy. But, let's be real, who doesn't love a good greasy turkey leg every now and then?
In all seriousness, the legs up method can help prevent overcooking, as the legs are less likely to be submerged in scorching hot oil for too long. However, this method can also lead to undercooking if you're not careful, so make sure to keep an eye on that internal temperature. And trust me, you don't want to be the one serving pink turkey to your guests on Thanksgiving.
Science says that the legs down method is more efficient, as it allows for better heat transfer and even cooking. But, let's not forget about the art of cooking, folks! Sometimes you've got to throw science out the window and just go with your gut (or in this case, your turkey-frying instincts).
