Does a turkey fryer offer advantages over other types of fryers, aside from the fact that it can hold a turkey? The only thing that sets it apart from other fryers is that it is usually used outside and it can be dangerous if you're not careful with it since they tend to be somewhat less sturdy than other fryers. But if you want to deep-fry a turkey, you're going to need a turkey fryer and, assuming you've taken all the proper precautions and are keeping children and animals well away from it, you'd do well to check out the The Ultimate Turkey Fryer Cookbook for a few more ideas on preparation and seasonings.
Some complaints about this book have been that the author is self promoting and recommends his own products for spicing and flavoring the foods in the book. It doesn't matter whether you're putting on one of his rubs or sauces or if you are using your own. The important thing is that this book can familiarize you with the basics of frying in the turkey fryer and the techniques that can be used on various types of meat, since it's not limited to turkey recipes. There are recipes for chicken, pork, fish, vegetables and even desserts. Most of these don't need to be made in the larger turkey fryer as opposed to in a regular fryer, but if you already have it, you may as well get a little more use out of it, right?
