Turkey Frying Disasters

If you drop a frozen turkey into 350° cooking oil, it will explode. And if you don’t measure the oil carefully, even a properly thawed turkey will set your garage on fire. Ten years ago, some amazing videos of Cajun fried turkey infernos showed up online. Their popularity spawned a subgenre: simulations of Cajun fried turkey disasters created for the sake of “public safety.” Between the actual home videos and the simulations, there is no shortage of documentary footage of what can happen if you don’t pay attention while frying a turkey.
