It Could Happen To You: Thanksgiving Cooking Fails To Avoid

The Exploding Turkey

Deep frying turkeys on Thanksgiving continues to be a fad. Those who do it swear that the turkey flavor is unbeatable even though the dangers of deep frying a turkey are very real. Putting a frozen or a partially frozen turkey into a vat of hot oil will cause the turkey to literally explode. People get hurt and houses burn down, adding to the stressful excitement of the holiday.
