Cooking up a turkey is a holiday tradition for plenty of families, but that doesn't have to mean eating the same old turkey every year. A turkey fryer lets you cook up that turkey to deliver a crispy outside, with juicy meat everyone at the table will love. You fry up a turkey using peanut oil or canola oil, using a fryer outside where its less likely to be a fire hazard. Just be sure to check on everyone's allergies before you get started!

Why you can trust Real Homes
A fried turkey is said to be moister, more flavorful, and never slimy as compared to a roasted turkey. However, cooking with oils can be worrisome as there are spills, splashes, and burns. Our favorite, the Char-Broil oil-less turkey fryer will still give you a crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside turkey without the worry of splattering hot oil. Take a bite, you won't cook turkey any other way again.
