Don’t deep fry in Olive oil! Doesn’t do high heat well.Peanut oil is what you want.Peanut oil is fairly healthy but if anyone has Peanut allergies be careful some Peanut oils can be a hazard. They usually remove the allergens.
These fires happen because there is too much oil in the pot. When the turkey is added it overflows into the burner and catches fire.The trick is to put the turkey in the pot and add water until it is covered. Then remove the turkey and mark the water line. Dump the water and wipe the pot dry. Then add oil to the mark you made and you have the right amount. Make sure to dab the water off of the turkey before you add it to the hot oil.

Not greasy! Actually very tasty. Tried deep frying a couple times, no accidents. Back to the tried and true roasting method.

Be sure it is a foam based extinguisher since this is an oil fire. CO2, used very carefully, could work, though.
