Deep frying turkey

[Badbug]

How do you deep fry a turkey? Other than the requisite pot, what temp. and how many minutes per lb? Any suggested spices and how to apply and at what stage?

Jim's Cajun Deep-Fried Turkey Page (http://www.tznet.com/lwittman/turkey.html) includes:

This is definitely an outdoor activity. Apparently several houses have burnt to the ground in New Orleans when this recipe was tried inside.

There are many more such pages.

A friend of mine did this a few weeks ago at a holiday party-injected marinades, and it was very good. Took a little over an hour, IIRC.

I did it once, in my driveway. A gravel driveway covered with snow.

Be prepared for a mess. And if you have dogs, kids running around, you will need to 'guard' the deep fryer. I ended up buiding a quick fence around mine. And still had to keep an eye on it.

When I was done, I ended up building a fire (wood) on the drive to get rid of all the oil that splattered out.
