Also, make sure you get a multi use pot. I believe that the bayou classic can be gotten with a basket in it. Ideal for doing crab boil or deep fried corn on the cob.

Well said bro...frying turkey isthillin said:I fry turkey parts all year. You can get drumsticks, thighs or breast. We like the thighs at my house. And with parts, it takes a whole lot less peanut oil.
Peanut oil is a must with the high flashpoint.
Also before the turkey prep, place in the empty pot. Fill with water until turkey is covered. Mark with a piece of tape. Take out bird and emty water. Dry out and fill with oil to tape level.
Slowly dip the bird a little at a time. I dip a little, then pull out, then dip a little more. Then slowly lower in.
Do this, and never have an oil overspill.
Make a wind block to keep from prolonged cooking times.
Enjoy the juiciest bird ever.
SLOWLY lower that bird in there, or you'll have a surprise flash fire on your hands.
Mark with tape after you pull the bird out, not before. I had a friend do that and he had a massive overflow.Also before the turkey prep, place in the empty pot.
