More and more people are starting to deep fry turkeys. Although a traditional roasted turkey is usually served for Thanksgiving, deep fried turkey is becoming very popular. Deep frying a turkey means cooking the turkey in a large amount of hot oil. The oil has to cover the turkey completely. This means the skin of the turkey is crisp and the meat inside is juicy and tender.

A whole turkey can be cooked in a turkey fryer pot with very hot oil. You can find turkey fryer kits at many local stores. Most people who have eaten deep fried turkey say it tastes much better than roast turkey. Deep fried turkey also cooks a lot quicker.

However cooking turkey can be dangerous. If the hot oil splashes or spills on someone, people can get badly burnt. The turkey fryer basket can also tip over and spill. You need to ensure it is on a flat surface. If the turkey is frozen, water from the melting ice can make the oil splash. And in some rare cases turkey fryers have even exploded.

Underwriters Laboratory is an organization that tests products for safety. They will not put their safety stamp of any convention turkey fryer. This is why a Masterbuilt electric turkey fryer is recommended for cooking a turkey safely.

So is deep fried turkey worth the risk? Some Americans say yes, Underwriters Laboratory says no. However because deep fried turkey is so delicious, many Americans will probably continue with this cooking tradition regardless of the consequences.
