LOL!! You have NO IDEA what you are talking about!! Have you even had a fried turkey before??? First of all, the way the frying works is it seers the skin in the first 2 min it is dropped into the oil. The turkey then sheds ALL fat, as it is thin enough to seep through the seered skin. The turkey then cooks in it's own juices, as they have no way to escape. Secondly, if you were to ever taste a fried turkey, you would probably never even want a baked one again. People's taste vary, but EVERY SINGLE PERSON I know prefers the taste of fried turkey to an oven-baked one hands down. Then of course there is the TIME that is saved. A 14 lb. turkey (this is really the biggest one you need to attempt to fry whole) will cook in just under 1 hour. When you compare the time and taste factors, frying a turkey is the only way to go. Don't knock it til you've tried it!
