Awful camera phone pic, but I had to move the Turbo out in the snow while I fried a turkey on Christmas Eve in the garage. It was sunny and in the 70's just the day before! That's Dallas weather for ya.

Once you go fried, you'll never go back. Unless you like to make gravy from turkey drippings or like to stuff a turkey with stuffing (you can't do either frying).
30 min for the peanut oil to reach 350, and 45 min for a 13lb bird (3.5min/lb at 325 degrees). What you get is a crispy skin and a juicy turkey that stays juicy long after. I'm saving some breast meat for a buddy and it's still relatively juicy after 2-3 days sitting in the fridge.
I used injectable marinade from Tony Chachere and I also season the skin with cajun seasoning from Tony Chachere.
The only catch is being very careful as frying a turkey can end up in a fire disaster. You have to measure the correct amount of oil to use, monitor oil temp, and make sure the turkey is dry and free from water as much as possible before slowly lowering it in the fryer. What I did, fry a turkey in the garage, is really a no-no because of the fire hazzard. Turkey fryers are not UL listed because of that. Search YouTube for videos of what can happen if you don't have all your ducks in a row.
The leftover peanut oil will still be good for at least a couple of weeks so I may fry some french fries to "clean up" the oil then fry some chickens the same way.

You know it must make some people feel real bad seing a porsche with 4 wheel drive just crusie by with no problems. I don't think some would understand its 4 wheel but eh. I've watched some youtube video of C4's and other flying in the snow. For non porschers it must break a lot of hearts seeing the porsche do its thing.

Idiots on radio and TV creating hype
note temp of ?? 500?? (before flames)
and I doubt the flames are normal when using oil to deepfry otherwise all the fastfood places have been making frenchfries all wrong!

Yeah, if the oil is burning, then it's probably not a good idea to fry a turkey at that point, LOL.
I was thinking more along the lines of this:
Here's a video from UL demonstrating the potential fire hazzards:
Ed, if you send me a self-addressed stamped envelope, then next time I fry a bird, I'll send you a sample.
