Cajun-Fried Turkey Wraps For Your Next Football Party

Posted

(NAPSA)—According to a new LouAna Peanut Oil/Cajun Injector Marinade survey taken by Opinion Research, 38 percent of the people polled plan on getting together with friends or relatives to watch college or NFL football on TV this season. And many say the quality of the food is as important as the game. “Football fans want great-tasting food that allows you to fill up your plate quickly and get back in front of the TV so you don’t miss a great play,” says LouAna Peanut Oil spokesman Patrick Mould, chef/owner of Louisiana Culinary Enterprises and author of “Recipes from a Chef.” According to the survey, 49 percent of consumers say they’ve eaten fried turkey. While Cajunfried turkey is traditionally served during Thanksgiving or Christmas throughout the South and across the U.S., Chef Mould has come up with a different twist for football parties or other less formal get-togethers: Cajun-fried turkey wraps with a Creole rmoulade sauce.
