Sesame Seed Oil
Deep Pot

Instructions:

Chop up the frozen turkey tail into cubes (about 1/2" to 1"). Set into bowl to thaw. When thawed (but not warm!), put into deep cooking pot with about 1/8" sesame seed oil in the bottom.

Continue stirring until all of the turkey tail is a deep golden brown; some will become a bit crunchy. When done, drain on a paper-towel covered plate to soak up the sesame oil. Serve with hot rice with salad
