Peanut oil is the prefered oil for a deep fry turkey cooker. Olive oil is healthier but is not recommended for high temperature cooking because it breaks down.

It should have come with directions or there should be a line inside the kettle. You have to remember that when you drop the turkey in, it will bubble up and boil wildly, so you don't want to fill it more than it says to or you'll have an overflow of boiling oil (most common cause for injuries and fires when deep frying a turkey.) We usually get the BIG size of ProFry and I think it does the fryer twice... don't know if that helps... but a lot will depend on the size of your fryer because they do come in two different sizes. Check with your manufacturer or the directions or seek out that line inside the fryer :)

It is stated to use peanut oil because it withstands the high frying temperatures. Wal-mart carrries the large jug of it required for your fryer. And, if you have never had turkey done this way before it is the best tasting turkey I have ever had! My brother-in-law did it last year and it was fantastic! Be sure to also get an injector syringe so you can inject some flavor into the bird before frying! Enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving!

Smart Balance brand oil blend - it is a perfect blend of canola oil, vegetable oil, flax seed oil, and olive oil. You get some of the benefits of cooking with olive oil. Flax seed oil is rich in omega-3, which promotes healthy heart - reduces the risk of heart disease. The canola oil blend keeps it not heavy or too thick.

Olive oil is very good for the heart. It's why people in the mediterrainian live so long.
