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.
1. Fill cooker with Peanut oil
2. Heat oil to 400 degrees F
3. Hold wet, greasy turkey over cooker
4. Accidently drop turkey in hot oil
5. Hot oil splashes all over the floor setting house on fire
6. Throw water on the hot flaming grease causing the fire to spread further
7. Call Fire Department, which is to busy answering other idiots burning turkey cooker calls
8. House burns to the ground
9. Call KFC and order a 23 piece bucket
10. Happy Thanksgiving!
