First and foremost you are going to need all the necessary equipment, and of course a turkey. Your best best is to pick up a turkey fryer kit. These kits contain most of the necessary equipment to fry your turkey. You will also need a thermometer to measure the oil temperature. Peanut oil is the best oil for deep frying a turkey because I believe it gives the best flavor. You'll need about 3 gallons of it. And you will also need a propane tank. Make sure your propane tank is pretty full, you don't want to run out in the middle of frying your turkey.

Once you have your turkey and all you equipment set up make sure you follow all the safety directions for your deep fryer kit. Fire and oil can be a dangerous combination. And of course this should all be done outdoors.
Once you've added your oil to the proper level for your size of turkey heat the oil to approximately 350 degrees. Once the oil is heated to the proper level, lower your thawed turkey slowly into the oil using the hanger from your turkey fryer kit. It is going to take right around 3 minutes per pound to deep fry your turkey. Once it is complete slowly lift the turkey out using the hanger once again.
Once you have it out, let it rest for around 15 - 20 minutes before carving it up. There you go, a simple, delicious way to cook up a turkey. If you would like more information on deep frying a turkey visit >> How to Deep Fry a Turkey
