fully defrost the turkey and turn the flame off when adding/removing the turkey seem to be the basic OHnS of frying a turkey.

Making sure you don't overfill the pot so there is enough room for the turkey is also aparently an overlooked part of the process, as is making sure that flammable objects are kept a safe distance away.

Oh yeah, measure the oil with the turkey in while cold.
