So I am going to be frying a turkey for the first time this Thanksgiving (Friday actually). I have the turkey, the oil, and I am set to brine. But, I figure I have all this oil and I might as well fry some other stuff while I am at it as I rarely ever fry stuff at home.

So, if I choose to fry other stuff first do you think I am going to get flavors in the oil that will show up in the turkey? Not planning any seafood or anything.

Could I fill up the pot with oil, fry some stuff on Thursday, leave the oil in the pot, and fry the turkey Friday? I will cover the oil while hot and keep it covered so I am not worried about the oil going rancid, but should I be worried about any flavor from the metal?

And finally, what is your favorite fried treat? I am planning on frying some okra as it is probably my favorite fried food.

Hooray for fried food!

Try some belgian frites. I couldn't tell you what to do with the oil, I never use it, so I'm a bad resource.

you should be fine last year I fried a turkey at thanksgiving and then again on christmas with the same oil and it didn't go rancid, I would think as long as it's not another meat you shouldn't get flavors in your turkey, maybe the other way around due to the turkey fat but if you do fries or something I doubt you'll taste it in the turkey.

Filter the oil and put it back in the container it came in. I use a coffee filter and funnel.

To remove the "turkey" flavor from the oil, fry up a mess of french fries. I usually leave the oil from frying the turkey close up in the pot for a few days then fry another turkey for lunchmeat and to freeze. Same night I fry up a mess of french fries and then do hot turkey sandwiches with fries and gravy. Then I filter and put the oil away for the next fry up.

Yummy!

I love fried twinkies. You could also make some huge funnel cakes!
