Looks good, I've always wanted to try it too but never actually do.

I like DF turkeys however making the gravy's a bitch!

Too lazy to deep fry a turkey. I just toss it in the oven and then go away for four hours.

the price isnt all that bad, we used our oil and fryer all summer for chicken wings, chicken nuggets, fries, potato chips and i have heard deep fried pork chops are pretty good as well

Deep fried turkey, I'll take all the deliscious dark meat for myself. No Gravy. Juicy as it may be white still requires gravy. Friends and I usually just go for the jar stuff works easier in a deep fry situation.

We did a friend turkey breast. No point in using that much oil. Also did two regular turkeys a spiral cut ham and fillet mignon beef tenderloin!

Throw some snickers and twinkies in there when you are done

I fried our turkey too. We scored and got a large electric Charmglow fryer from one of our neighbors for $10 at a garage sale. I recommend the electric because it pretty much removes the danger from frying a turkey. Propane uses an open flame which heats the oil up quicker but you also have a time bomb waiting to go off. The electric one we have is nice also because we can use the basket to do crab legs too. Just fill it with water instead of oil and fill it up with crab legs so it's much easier than trying to do it on the stove. I did a 10lb turkey breast for Thanksgiving yesterday and everyone was amazed at how juicy, tender and flavorful it was. That and it took less than an hour instead of 4x that long in the oven. On top of all of that my wife LOVED how her and her mom had the double oven plus the microwave for preparing side dishes. Everything got done at about the same time and there was no warm/lukewarm food to worry about reheating or eating cold. I'm telling you... this is the ONLY way to fly!
