Deep Fried Turkey...

Has anybody been experimenting with frying turkeys? How was it?

Deep fried turkey is excellent if properly done.

I'll stress that there are hazards to the method and *all* recommended safety procedures should be
followed. If you skip one thing there's a high degree of likelihood that you'll either badly burn
yourself, burn your house down, or ruin the turkey. Of course all of the above is also a
possibility.

Also, don't even try it with one of those flimsy things with only three spoke legs. If you're gonna
do it, get one that sits flat on a round full supporting stand.

One thing that must be done is to get a measurement of how much oil you'll need in your vessel
because of displacement. Two women were recently badly burned because they filled their vessel with
oil, turned it on, and then when it was hot they added the turkey and hot, bubbling oil spilled out
over the top because there was too much oil.

Put the turkey in the vessel first and add water to cover it. Then take the turkey out and make note
or mark somehow where the level of water is without the turkey - that level or slightly more is the
amount of oil you should put in the fryer.
