To answer question 1, I think so. At least I hope it is. I did the same thing where I filtered the oil and saved it, but I think I used it within 6 months. I've got a deep fryer in the kitchen, so I go through a lot of frying oil. I would use it if thats all I had.
I would say fry the bird if it fits in the fryer, just put less oil in it so it doesn't spill over with the turkey in it. I've fryed a 14 pound bird before.
As far as recipies are concerned I always stick with the injections. The peanut oil pretty much works like magic.
Hope your turkey turns out well.
