How to Fry a Turkey, in Photos

Always fry a turkey outdoors, unless you have a specific indoor turkey fryer. Place recycled cardboard boxes underneath the fryer to soak up any oil drippings. Fill the pot with peanut oil to the designated mark on the inside of the pot. Heat the oil over a medium flame, until the temperature reaches about 325°F. It's important to keep an eye on the oil as you do not want it to burn. The oil should last for up to 3 to 4 uses if it does not burn.
