"  This year as you get ready to cook your bird, you&amp;#039;ve likely scoured magazines, cookbooks, and the web, looking for tricks to make the perfect turkey. While there are lots of techniques out there, frying continues to grow in popularity. While deep-frying a turkey does produce moist, tender meat with crisp skin, it also poses a considerable risk. Outdoor deep fryers typically have an exposed flame next to as much as 5 gallons of scalding hot oil. What&amp;#039;s more, according to Underwriter&amp;#039;s Laboratories (UL), they often don&amp;#039;t have an internal thermostat, which means that if you don&amp;#039;t monitor the temperature closely, the oil can combust from overheating. I recently had the chance to try out The Big Easy Infrared Turkey Fryer from Char-Broil, an oil-less infrared &amp;quot;fryer&amp;quot; that cooks a whole turkey with propane, without the need to submerge the bird in hot fat.  After preheating the fryer, you paint the metal insert and your turkey with a light coating of oil and season the bird. I placed a plastic garbage bag over my workspace to prevent the turkey from contaminating my cutting board.  Once the turkey is seasoned with dry rub, place it in the metal cage.  Using the included metal hook, lower the turkey into the fryer and cover the fryer with the lid.  Cook the bird for approximately 8-10 minutes per pound, until it reaches a temperature of 165\u02DAF in the thickest part of both the breast and thigh without touching bone. (To make sure you&amp;#039;re using an accurate thermometer, check out our top picks.) When it&amp;#039;s all done, remove the insert and turkey from the fryer and let it rest 10 minutes or so before carving. The result is a beautiful turkey that&amp;#039;s well browned with crisp skin, and very moist inside as the turkey cooks vertically from all sides. Best of all, you&amp;#039;re not left with gallons of used oil to dispose of.  The fryer is currently on sale for $99, grab one and try &amp;quot;frying&amp;quot; your Thanksgiving bird this year.
