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.

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.
