Reply to LPT: When deep frying a turkey you can remove the fire risk by simply turning the burner off while dropping the turkey in slowly. Once it settles down, wipe the outside of the pot off, re-light the burner, and enjoy a safe turkey fry! by basement-thug

Another tip: Put your (wrapped) turkey in the empty fry pot first and fill with water to where it would be properly covered if it was oil.

Remove the turkey and note the line where water comes up to.

Empty and dry your fryer, then fill with oil to that point.

When you add the turkey, it will now be perfectly filled.

You could also do this with just oil, no water, but then your turkey will be more difficult to handle.
