Man Severely Burns Leg Deep-Frying Turkeys
Here's a cautionary tale for readers planning to make a moister, tastier turkey Thursday. An 86-year-old Mount Prospect man suffered third-degree burns on his right leg while deep-frying turkeys Saturday.
According to the Sun-Times, Serafino Alfe said he was stone cold sober while preparing 25 turkeys for deep-frying at a country club when he tripped over a piece of cardboard and spilled 30 quarts of hot oil. In retrospect, Alfe is lucky he only burned his leg, which he now calls his "drumstick."
Needless to say, Alfe told the Sun-Times he's done deep-frying turkeys.
