BUFFALO TURKEY MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the turkey, panko, egg, grated onion, 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce, the blue cheese, garlic powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix with your hands until just evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat. Roll the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls (28 to 30 meatballs). Place on the baking sheet and broil until browned in spots and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/2 cup Buffalo sauce, the hot honey and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, swirling the pot, until the butter is melted and combined. Continue cooking until slightly thickened and glossy, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Transfer the meatballs and sauce to a large bowl and toss to coat. Remove the meatballs to a platter and spoon any remaining sauce on top. Top with the scallions and serve with the celery.

BUFFALO FRIED TURKEY

Steps:

• Look at the label on the turkey and write down the exact weight. Place the turkey on a rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons salt all over the turkey, inside and out, nudging some into areas where the skin naturally separates from the bird, such as around the neck, top of the breast and between the legs and breast. Chill, uncovered, at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
• Pat the turkey very dry with paper towels, making sure there is no moisture anywhere, especially in the cavity. (Any wetness may cause dangerous splattering.)
• Place the turkey breast-side up in the basket of a turkey fryer or on the fry stand, depending on the type of deep fryer you have; follow the manufacturer's instructions. Let the turkey sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour and up to 3.
• Fill a turkey fryer with oil according to the manufacturer's instructions, following the specifications for the weight of your turkey (see Cook's Note). Heat to 375 degrees F (this could take 30 to 60 minutes depending on your fryer). Set a rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
• Lowering the turkey requires upper body strength so prepare yourself. Most fryers come with a hook to lower and raise the basket or fry stand in and out of the oil. Make sure to use the hook. Lift the basket over the fryer and carefully and slowly lower the turkey into the oil, inch by inch, until about half way, and then pause to allow the cavity to fill with oil. The oil will be bubbling vigorously and that?s ok. (If it starts to splatter violently, that could mean there is water on the turkey or that the turkey is still partially frozen. If that happens, remove the turkey from the oil and check to ensure the turkey is free of moisture and not still frozen.) Once the cavity is full of oil, continue lowering the turkey until it is completely submerged. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding cooking covered or uncovered and adjusting the heat. Continue cooking until the turkey is golden brown, 3 1/2 to 4 minutes per pound, 40 to 50 minutes.
• Carefully remove the turkey from the oil and transfer to the prepared rack to drain and cool, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Simmer the hot sauce, garlic and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly darker and thickened, about 10 minutes. Discard the garlic, reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter, one piece at a time, until completely melted, stirring constantly until the sauce is thick and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Remove the turkey from the basket or fry stand and liberally brush with the Buffalo sauce, making sure to get into every nook and cranny. Let sit 15 minutes. Repeat basting and sitting two more times. Reserve remaining sauce for serving.
• Serve with carrot sticks, celery sticks, blue cheese dip and remaining Buffalo sauce.
