Deep-Fried Fireball

Deep-frying your turkey may make for a juicier bird, but it can also lead to a fiery fiasco, not to mention that it is a very unhealthy way to cook anything! If you do decide to deep fry, though, make sure you take these precautions.

Thaw your turkey completely.

Make sure to cook outside, away from structures and combustibles.

Try to avoid cooking during precipitation, since water may cause the oil to spatter.

Above all, never leave the fryer unattended, and monitor the temperature closely.
