Have a frying party, and do multiple turkeys with everyone chipping in for the oil.

Do you fry anything else? You do know you can reuse the oil, right?


Also, if you’re only frying one turkey you can probably use a cheaper oil like canola. The reason people tend to use peanut oil for turkeys is that it holds up better for frying more than one turkey, which most people will typically do, and won’t break down as fast as other oils Another cheaper vegetable oil should hold up fine if you’re only frying one turkey and nothing else.

I usually use the clear frying oil that used to cost $15 for the 5 gallon jug. That one is now $35.

I didn't expect OT treatment from the PT board for giving a heads up to those that may not buy cooking oil year round.

No, I thought it was good info.

I was just chiming in on the practicalities of your situation.

That comment wasn't directed to you. I get a free turkey every year from work, so I have to cook it somehow.

then do the frying party. I fry a lot and have noticed the cost of oil but another thing you can do is find a local restaurant that has lightly used oil that they are willing to sell. It is usually about half price.

Just left Costco and noticed the price of peanut and frying oil has doubled since last year.


It’s how Democrats solve problems. Turkey shortage? Double the price of oil and fewer people will want turkeys. No more turkey shortage!

Might have to smoke it this year.


The smoker is always the correct answer.

Yeah, it turns out really good and juicy from the deep fryer, but you just can't beat slow heat and wood smoke.

Save that oil for the catfish and crappie.

Cooking a turkey whole is an awful way of preparation. Cut the damn thing up and cook it like it's supposed to be.


Must be a weird razorback recipe or you think the turkey is cooked in slices.

Are you some kind of a Godless communist? Norman Rockwell says frick you! If you cut it up you might as well serve KFC like they do in Japan.
