I’m one of those people who really doesn’t need a reason to cook a turkey, since it’s second in line behind steak. Pork roast and chicken fight for third, though!
Since it’s usually only me who eats it, I freeze a lot, so I have turkey for several weeks.
I keep thinking I want one of those turkey fryers, but I’m afraid of fires. So I’ll just continue to slow cook them, and enjoy them myself! (Like the Little Red Hen!)
We've been using an electric. They're more limited in size, but that shouldn't be a problem for you.
They get hot, but not unreasonably so, and there's no flame to worry about. You might like it.
The big question is what to do with all the peanut oil afterwards. (Your truck isn't a diesel, by any chance?)
