"      Deep-fried turkey: moist, delicious, and a grease fire just waiting to happen. The vogue for frying turkeys has somewhat tapered off in the last few years, but evidently State Farm is still seeing enough turkey-frying-related claims to produce a PSA on the subject. The insurer has teemed up with William Shatner (who apparently really does love deep-fried turkey) on a campaign to drive home a few key safety lessons. Here are the important takeaways:  \u2022 Always defrost the turkey first. \u2022 Don&amp;#039;t overfill the pot with oil. \u2022 Turn the flame down when lowering the turkey into the oil. \u2022 Always, always fry your turkey outside the house. The above video shows what happens when you don&amp;#039;t follow proper procedure (spoiler alert: massive, Michael-Bay-caliber grease fire). There&amp;#039;s also a longer spot starring Shatner that tells the whole cautionary tale of improper frying technique. Quothe Shatner: &amp;quot;Fire, metal, oil, and turkey are glorious when in harmony. But their power is unrelenting in careless hands.&amp;quot; Wise words.
