Be Careful, that's a bunch of hot oil. And there's a huge fire potential if you don't pay attention to the temp.

Never tried the electric version, gave up on oil when the price of peanut oil kept going up. Now I use the spatchcock method. This is a good article on that method. http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/11/video-how-to-spatchcock-turkey-thanksgiving.html
Enjoy your bird however you cook it.
