You’ve used and reused your 100% peanut oil. Now what? Why not recycle it? Not only are you doing your part for the environment, you’re keeping your house and garage clutter-free! Earth911.com is a great site to find a recycling center near you. Just search “cooking oil” and your zip code, city, or state and they provide a listing. Click here to begin searching.

First, try not to get the temperature too high when frying as that scorches the peanut oil. Storage is very important as well: allow oil to cool completely, strain it (to remove any particles) with cheesecloth or a coffee filter into an airtight container or the original bottle, and then store in a cool place. Finally, if the color of the peanut oil is too dark or thick, it will need to be disposed of.

Most importantly, taste and smell the oil before you fry your whole turkey. If it tastes or smells off, it’s best to start fresh. I hope that helps!

I’ve had deep-fried turkey several times, but only once for a Thanksgiving meal. I was a guest a this meal a long with about 18 other people, thus a lot of mouths to feed. The hosts did something really fun. They cooked three turkeys: one by roasting, one by grilling and one by deep-frying. The deep-fried turkey was the one with nothing left on the bone when we were done! But I think all the guest appreciated the options and it was interesting to try a bit of each and compare the flavors. I think this is something I’d try (once I finally take the jump into preparing my first holiday dinner) for my own party because people always like options!
