Deep frying turkeys makes them incredibly moist and delicious. Inject the turkey with marinade a few days before frying it. Add a dry rub to the outside of the turkey just before frying it to add more flavor. Follow manufacturer instructions for turkey deep fryers. Never attempt to deep fry a turkey indoors, including in garages or sheds.
