Notes
If you are not frying them up right away, you can store them in rows in freezer, Ziploc gallon bags. Separate rows with wax paper, as you stack them in the bag. Keep in mind, that when you are frying them frozen, your oil temperature will decrease. Be sure that your oil temperature is at least 350 F before cooking. If it is too low, your turons will soak up too much oil.
