And lots of basting as mentioned below.

Turduckens are not for the set it and forget it crowd.

Me, I'll continue to fry the turkey.

And for anyone who asks

1) I measure the displacement for the bird with water before adding the oil
2) I always turn the flame off when the bird goes in (that 1 minute isn't going to materially drop the temp of the oil, and it ensures that it can't catch fire).


I'm amazed at how amateur hour people are with frying turkeys.
