Deep fried if the critter is small. But if you have a large gathering, you have to bake it. Keep the fryer to the 8-10 pound range and go to the stove if it is larger.

Oh - and you cannot deep fry stuffing! And I have yet to figure out how to make turkey gravey with a deep fried bird.

Size, stuffing, and gravy aside - try frying if you have not already done so. Sure to like the results - but -

FOLLOW THE SAFETY RULES!!!!!
