Also make sure it's dead first.We were doing 3 every year for a while. Going home with a full fried turkey for sandwiches was amazing.
Just ease it in. As long as you go slow its fairly anti-climatic.
I’ve done it for years. No issues. If you’re not a moron, put in a thoroughly thawed bird, don’t overfill the pot, and use an oil that can get really hot like peanut oil, it’s fine. You can’t wake up tomorrow and say, “think I’ll try frying my turkey.”Has this ever not caused a major explosion?
If you are doing for the first time, please take a video of putting it in the oil.
Seriously, I've always wanted to give this a shot but haven't been able to convince the Mrs... yet.

That’s the correct wayYou take your turkey, put it in the pot and fill it with water until the water line is 2 inches above the turkey.
Take the turkey out and make a mark where the water line now sits.
Fill the oil up to your mark. Heat and fry away. Not rocket science, kids.
Also make sure it's dead first.
Fresh, not frozen.. dry turkey. The oil will be 2 inches higher in the pot with the turkey when its hot than when you measure it when its room temp. 3 minutes per pound. Amazing
I'm smoking one and roasting another. First time trying to smoke an entire one (did a turkey breast once) so I have to have the traditional roasted once in case I #$%@ up the smoked one.
It's going to be an early morning for me.
"The Safe Way" when you are ready to put the turkey in shut off the propane so there is no flame... once your turkey is in restart the burner.Has this ever not caused a major explosion?
