Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Fry a Turkey

Every year, some people make the stupid mistake of trying to cook their turkey by deep frying it.

For those who are unaware, the normal way to cook a turkey is by preparing it, then putting it in the oven. However, turkey is a fairly lean meat, which us Americans don’t really like, and so, a select few decide that the best course of action to prepare their turkey is by dunking the whole thing in hot oil.

This is dumb for a number of reasons, but the main one is that the people who do this also aren’t really the type to measure out their oil. As a result, they tend to spill oil all over the place, which can then start on fire.

If you’re wondering what that looks like, well, look down here!
