If it is wrapped up, that is not really deep frying. What you need to do is put the rub/spices/seasonings under the turkey's skin, and let it sit for an hour or so before frying. The skin will hold it in during cooking, and the rest time will give the flavors time to marinade the meat. Peanut oil is the best oil for frying a turkey, because it has a hi smoke point and a good but not too strong flavor.

You can wrap it in foil and fry it though the results probably won't be much different than conventional roasting. The reason deep fried turkey is so good is because of the contact of the hot oil on the meat. Take away the contact and it's something different entirely.
What you can do is brine or marinate the turkey before you fry it. The flavouring will be in the meat befor cooking and you may get the effect you're looking for that way. If using dry seasoning, you can also rub it with the seasonings after thawing and leave it in the fridge overnight before frying.

How is it going to get "FRIED" if it's in a bag? It's not. If you have a turkey fryer you might invest in a flavor injector. This will get the flavoring in the meat (under the skin) for a better tasting bird. Don't try to do anything other than what your pot is designed for. Being a frying OVEN it's not!.

You can use foil after it is fried.
