Deep Fried Cajun Turkey Wings with Roasted Purple Potatoes


Since I LOVE cajun turkey I wanted to create something at home that would be easy and good. I found these cool purple potatoes at Publix last week on sale!! They had a more earthy taste.
My cajun rub was easy:
tsp cumin
tsp paprika
tsp coarse black pepper
tsp Old bay spice
tsp salt
tsp celery seed or flake
tsp dry mustard
I rubbed my turkey wings down and let them sit in the fridge for abotu 5 hours. Then I heated my deep fryer to 350 degrees. I have a middle size one that stays on my back porch and has a basket in it. I removed the basket to have enough room to place the large turkey wing in there. 
I wrapped my turkey wing in tinfoil like 3 times. Leaving no way for grease to get in there. I put my turkey in the fryer and cooked it for 6-8 mins. * NOTE THE INTERNAL TEMP OF TURKEY NEEDS TO BE 165 DEGREES.
My potatoes I placed in my roaster oven at 400 degrees for 20 mins. I diced them into qtrs and tossed with EVOO, salt, pepper  and granulated garlic. 

great meal, something different to mix up dinner
