Deep fryer newbie. Any recipes or tips for turkey?

[watermelonslim]

I got one of those butterball indoor electric turkey fryers last year. I normally cook 2 birds on thanksgiving, so I did 1 in my smoker, the other in the deep fryer.

I just followed the instructions in the manual, no brine, nothing fancy. It turned out okay, and in only like 45 minutes!

I'm thinking about doing a "dry brine" on the one I'm going to deep fry this year. Is that advisable, or will I end up burning the house down?

Any good recipes or techniques for a deep fried turkey?

Last year I smoked and fried one also....

Craig, How did what you cooked turn out? I got the xl model last year but haven't tried it yet.
