Fried turkey

Just for you fellows from contries that probably don't even eat turkey, unless you can help it. For the last dozen years or more frying turkey for Thanksgiving in the US has gotten to be an almost tradition among some of us.
You start with a 32 quart aluminum pot. You put in 3 gallons, or slightly more of peanut oil, depending on the size of the turkey.. You fire up a propane burner and get the oil to 350 degrees. Then you lower the turkey into it and fry it in oil for 3 and a half to 4 minutes a pound. It comes out juicy and tasty. ( Needless to say, you have to do this outside).
This particular bird is just over 13 pounds and enough for one family meal with a little left over for sandwiches tomorrow.
