have you done it? any good sites you recommend for tips?

So far Im looking at:

-cleaning a cooler and sterilizing it and then brinning the turkey over night.

-pull the turkey out and letting dry cause water+ hot grease = all bad

-seen somewhere they recommend filling the deep fryer with water and your turkey to figure out level because 98% of folks who catch their house on fire deep frying do so because they over fill the oil.

On my deep frier there is a max fill line, I've never brined one and they always come out juicy. You'll never have a normal turkey again after you get the deep frying down.

Edit- it usually take 3 gallons of Peanut Oil and its about $15 a gallon. You might be able to get it cheaper at a Costco.

Inject the shit out of it and watch the internal temp on the turkey it can go from almost done to over done in a blink of an eye.

Had one on Thanksgiving. Turned out great. I'd like to be able to give you some tips, but I didn't cook it...just supervised and drank beer! [Smile]

It's always good to measure with water first remeber to lower it slowly this is also another reason people burn stuff up the hardest part for me was keeping a steady 375 deg. tempature while it cooked!

Thanks for the tips, I already got some garlic truffle oil to inject it with.

What do you use to handle the turkey, check temp etc? some long ass rubber gloves just in case?

I use normal leather gloves, something like what you'd use when working in the yard. You should have a stand for the turkey and that comes with a little hook deal, you use that to lower it down and take it out. A normal meat thermometer to check the internal temp, one for the oil and a smaller one for the turkey, remember to pull the turkey out of the oil before you check the temp on it. When the turkey is done I put it in one of those disposable metal trays and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before carving.
