How long should it take for a turkey to fully cook?
I've never deep fried a turkey before and I know it can be dangerous, so what tips or concerns should I be aware of? Do I need to thaw it first?

Hello mmng23,
Deep fried turkey is great to eat because it is moist and great tasting and if cooked well won’t be soaked with grease. However, it is helpful to know what things you need before starting to deep fry a turkey. Among these are the right type of oil such as canola, a candy thermometer, meat thermometer, a big pot or turkey fryer, fire extinguisher and lastly a big burner and gas tank. Note here that you can only deep fry indoors if you are using an electric fryer, but if the oil becomes very hot it can spontaneously combust even in a electric fryer so it better to deep fry a turkey outdoors irrespective of the type of fryer.

Yes, deep frying a turkey can be dangerous, so do not put a turkey that has not been thawed completely into a turkey fryer. If it is not thawed completely the turkey, will cause a lot of splattering and will soak up a lot of oil.
For a complete list of tips check this link http://www.turkey-fryers-online.com/deep_fried_turkey_recipe.html and here they suggest putting some water into the fryer first and immersing the turkey to find out how much oil you will need and where the oil will rise to once the turkey is immersed.
Per pound the turkey should take around three minutes to cook. A good way to measure whether your turkey is fried is by using a meat thermometer and ensuring that the thigh has reached 180 degrees Fahrenheit and the breast 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
