Can you substitute vegetable oil for peanut deep frying turkey?

Yes, you can substitute vegetable oil for peanut oil when deep frying a turkey. Peanut oil is often preferred for deep frying turkey because it has a high smoke point and a neutral flavor. However, vegetable oil is also a good option and is more readily available. When using vegetable oil, be sure to heat it to the proper temperature before adding the turkey. The oil should be heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oil is too hot, the turkey will cook too quickly and the outside will be overcooked while the inside is still raw. If the oil is not hot enough, the turkey will absorb too much oil and will be greasy.
