This article explains why inserting a frozen (or even thawed but damp) turkey into a pot of boiling oil causes an explosion

Allow me to compare some popular methods of turkey preparation:

* deep frying -- adds unhealthy fat, sometimes explodes and starts a fire, occasionally kills people

* brining -- adds unhealthy amounts of salt

* smoking -- reasonably safe and healthy



* roasting -- a highly safe and healthy cooking method

* slow cooking -- a highly safe and healthy cooking method, especially if you add vegetables

Given that we have methods which are safe, healthy, and tasty it seems imprudent to choose less healthy or more dangerous methods.  I propose that death by exploding turkey is grounds for a Darwin Award.
