One word of advice for fried turkey is that you set the turkey fryer in a grass
area, and put a piece of cardboard or plywood down on the grass and set the
fryer on it. You don't want to set it up on or near concrete if you can help
it as it gets messy from oil splatter.

I've found the Emeril fried turkey recipe is very good, with the injection
marinade; you could get the recipe at the food network website. He did a food
network special where he fried a turkey and showed how to do it; it's worth
watching if you're going to fry a turkey as he gives lots of tips and tricks.
I'm sure they'll be playing it sometime before turkey day.
