The first issue is the burner. The more BTU's the better. Propane only, no electric.

A potato slice needs to sizzle furiously before you lower the turkey in.

Cook it in lard. No vegetable oil.

It needs to be foaming the whole time. It'll get pretty dark.

The pot need only be big enough; the bigger the better (more hot oil means more temperature stability).

Good eatin'

PS No fooling on the lard v. oil issue.

Lard?
I like that suggestion.
Sure to inflame the vegetarians!
And, provides a good way to really feed the jihadi detainees "turkey" at Guantanamo this Thanksgiving!
