I prefer Pennzoil Yellow Bottle.
I would say a thin oil as opposed to a thick oil, would be preferable.
However, I'm not trying to start another thick vs thin debate.
Also, since MMO seems to be very popular now, for good measure, you might want to add 8-10oz the last half hour of cooking.

GC for birds < 15 lbs., and PP for birds > 15 lbs.
happy thanksgiving to our american neighbors, especially the brave soldiers fighting in different areas around the world.

Whatever oil you use, be sure and use the turkey fryer inside, and preferably on your couch.

bubbatime -- you forgot 1 thing -- the turkey that you drop into the hot oil MUST be frozen.
I'd prefer any aged dino SJ/SG/SH oil. Aged vintage dino oil will bring out the best flavor of the turkey without washing it away by modern day detergents. Also, these oils age well, have high flashpoints, and are more consistent in maintaining the same temperatures through out the fryer. At operating temp, these oil circulate well in the fryer giving a consistent cooking and browning of the turkey. It also reacts well with frozen turkeys. Happy T-Day!
You guys crack me up.
What and awesome utube video that would make. Well not the couch part.

I say 100 percent Marvel Mystery Oil. It has that hint of wintergreen. Then get some non detergent Wal Mart Accel oil and smother it while baking for a nice sludge glaze.
I'd use amsoil, then you could save it and use it again next year.

How old is the Turkey?
Is the Turkey a free range fast running type or a domesticated penned in slower version?
Do you plan on consuming the Turkey in one sitting or will it be used for left overs over a number of days?
Does the turkey have any mods installed...ie clipped or not?
You just haven't given us enough information to determine.....

Does the turkey have aftermarket, high lift wings?
How about the recommended OCI? Every 3 minutes?
Or, we need Extended OCI? I'm confused.

Good god! don't use anything Pennzoil, you'll wind up with a waxy sludge all over it!
No, no, no. That new oil is flavorless. What you need to do, is get an old car with an oil burning sludger. Leave the dyno of your choice in it for 8,000 miles (12,000 miles for extra seasoning). Then you drain it straight from the oil pan to frying pot.
