Thinking about frying your turkey this year? DO IT — but do it safely. Here’s the step-by-step: 1️⃣ Thaw it 100% Frozen = explosions. Make sure it’s fully thawed and patted dry. 2️⃣ Fry OUTSIDE Flat surface. Away from walls, cars, fences — everything. 3️⃣ Find your oil level Put the turkey in the pot, fill with water to cover, pull it out, mark the line. Dump water → dry pot → fill oil to that line. 4️⃣ Heat oil to 325–350°F Use peanut oil if you can. 5️⃣ Turn flame OFF, lower turkey slowly Once
