Peanut Oil For Frying Turkey

Unfortunately the "heavier" the oil, the better job it does for this purpose. The sheer bulk of a turkey means you'll need a viscous oil to retain sufficient heat to transfer and cook the turkey thoroughly without dropping in temperature when you start cooking. To that end, olive oil would be a BAD choice.
Vegetable oil is a decent alternative as well as canola. Lard is an interesting suggestion but the idea of cooking an entire turkey in vat a pig fat seems somehow unappealing.
Whatever you choose, ensure above all, that your turkey is completely thawed before cooking and your oil is properly heated (325 degrees F). I cannot express to you how awful an undercooked turkey soaked in several gallons of oil tastes.

heloo there
u can try using sunflower oil or pure vegetable oil of olive oil(bit expensive though) to fry turkey. these oils will not give u the exact taste of the peanut oil but it tastes nice. an ur granddaughter will not have any allergies as well.
another method what i can suggest is by using any of the oil that i said earlier and sauteeing the turkey a little bit on flat pan (saute pan) and then puting it into pre-heated oven at 170 degrees celcius for 15 to 20 minutes(depending upon the size and cut of the piece). this method is tried, tested and tasted as well. :)
and also much more healthier option.
hope this will solve ur problem.

Yes just keep an eye on the temperature a little more. Peanut oil has a higher temperature it can take without smoking. but it should still have the peanut oil taste if you mix it with vegetable oil.

use canola oil... still has a high smoke point, neutral flavor and affordable.
Peanut oil (to my knowledge) is used primarily due to it's high temperature smoke point.
You may need to adjust down a bit for any others.
Avoid oils like sunflower, as these are made from the seeds... and if you're trying to avoid nuts, this may qualify.

Cotton seed oil. You can order it from Bass Pro Shops if you can't find it in your local grocery store. It has a high smoke point.

Goose or duck fat is lovely for frying, or just go for sunflower oil.
