turkey fryer

Outdoor poultry pot

A turkey fryer is a large cooking apparatus designed to deep-fry whole turkeys, typically outdoors using propane heat.

The setup includes an oversized pot, a burner stand, and a basket or hook for lowering the bird into hot oil.

Turkey fryers produce crispy skin and moist meat faster than oven roasting, but carry fire risks that make them notorious for Thanksgiving mishaps: Every year the fire department warns about turkey fryer accidents.
