William Shatner (yes, THAT William Shatner) loves deep-fried turkey, but over many Thanksgivings and Christmases he's made mistakes, burned himself, and nearly burned down his house. In this dramatic retelling, Mr. Shatner shows us how dangerous turkey fryers can be.

I should add : Get a large fire extinguisher and have someone in charge of it.

My son is supposed to be frying a turkey for his co-workers today. I hope they are careful! He's the son who caught our house on fire( just the vinyl siding) a couple of years ago fixing ribs for Thanksgiving.
Thanks Bonita…just said a prayer for all of those…"I know how to do this" country boys out there!

Our friends started their house on fire too. They had the fry deal on the deck by some overhanging pine trees. The trees caught fire, then the deck, then the house. The fire department came in time to save the house but it surely was not the way our friends wanted to spend time on Thanksgiving. BE CAREFUL!!!

Fried turkeys are tasty and leave the oven free for other baking, but……
My dad would deep fry the turkey (and anyone else's who brought it over) but we would cringe while he was doing it! He would be in the garage (which was under the house!) AND to make things a little more "daring" he laid a piece of old carpet down so the splattering oil wouldn't stain the concrete! I believe in Guardian Angels and his worked on holidays!

I have never gotten brave enough to deep fry a turkey. Only way I would do it would be on the grass far away from anything that could burn down. They are good but I will stick with the old fashioned baked ones…so much safer!
