Always try to use peanut oil. As long as you don't burn it, you can use it a couple of times afterwards. Just strain it and store it in the pantry.
I know peanut oil is superior for frying, but I just have a hard time justifying paying 2 to 4 times more for my oil than for the turkey that's going in it.
I usually use regular veggie oil and have never had a problem as long as you watch the temp closely. It strains and keeps as well.

Hog Lard will give you the best taste.. but will only fry 2 birds.
Peanut oil will fry 4-5 if you do not overheat your oil
Adding 1 peeled onion to your oil will help keep it fresh.
