I hear that the peanut oil can cost more than the turkey, and then what do you do with it?

I haven't deep fried one yet, but from what I understand, one can filter the oil (Cheese cloth?) and re-use it.

You can reuse the oil 3 or 4 times before discarding it. The key is to fry some potatoes (either quartered or chips) between turkey fryings. The spuds will remove the turkey taste out from the oil and are quite tasty themselves. If the oil is not spudded, the flavor build-up can get pretty fowl, er... foul.

What do you do with the oil after you are done cooking. It seems like a waste to pour it won the drain. Also, who knows what it is going to clog up?
