Remember that this can be a really dangerous way to cook a turkey too! Be sure to determine how much oil you need by filling the pot completely with water, then dunk the bird in all the way and remove it. This shows how much oil you need to have the pot filled to the brim with the turkey inside! Then remove enough to make sure you are safely below the rim of the pot, and measure whats left.
I've seen some spectacular fires on TV cooking shows from hot oil spilling over into the flame. OTH, I've had oil overflow in spite of my best efforts on two out of three cooks and never had a flame. You can bet we ran for the hills each time though.
