• Turkey Testicle Festival

  

  The Parkside Pub in Huntley, Illinois has a unique way to spend the eve of Thanksgiving: With the annual Turkey Testicle Festival. The pub celebrated its 30th year this year, serving close to 1,200 pounds of testicles. 

  Pub co-owner Jeff Lovell shares that he ships the delicacy from a farm in Michigan. 

  "It's obviously a product I want to sell out of. I don't order extra," Lovell told the Northwest Herald. "It is similar to cooking chicken. The biggest comparison we get is they [taste] like a deep fried mushroom."
  
  Wondering how to cook turkey testicles? The Daily Mail shares a recipe:

  Ingredients:
  3lbs of fresh turkey testicles 
  1lb of flour 
  Salt & pepper to taste
     
  Directions:
  Heat fryer to 350-degrees

  Rinse testicles under cold water and pat dry using a paper towel

  Make lengthwise slits in sides, nearly cutting them in half but not all the way through to allow them to split like a butterfly

  Cover them in the seasoned flour and fry immediately to golden brown

  With a platter and paper towel ready, remove and allow them to drain

  Serve with your favorite sauce
  
  Note:
  Turkey testicles are found on the inside of the bird, near its liver
