What is all this fear about frying a turkey. People in this newsgroups
regularly deep fry in their house. Others burn wood, or chips, or
charcoal, and there are no dire warnings.
I have fried turkeys on numerous occasions, with out incidents.
Just use the normal precautions, as you would use at any time working
with hot materials.

And of all the times that I went to house fires on thanksgiving, none
were caused by frying turkeys.
