this will be my first thanksgiving spent away from home.

I am going to look into deep frying one, as traditional baking leaves it much too dry for my tastes.
It is difficult though, my fiance and 90% of our friends are vegetarians... I don't know if I can eat the leftovers before they go bad.

I might eat dinner roast(vegetarianmeat+stuffing substitute) ...

90% vegetarians! What is wrong with you man? Get new friends (maybe even a new fiance)!

Are you part of some hippy commune Robbie?

I'll be deep frying the turkey as we have done for the last 6 or 7 years. We love the flavor and it frees up the kitchen and the ovens for my wife to make all the other dishes.

For anyone considering deep drying their turkey, I would strongly recommend reading this safety warning from Underwriters Laboratories:

They also have a good demonstration video here:

The most common problem is immersing a partially frozen turkey into the hot oil - causing the oil to boil over and catch fire. The flames can go as high as 30 feet - and set fire to houses and/or wooden decks.

I just talked to some crazy guy who's going to get a lot of black truffles to turn into a paste, and will then place it under the turkey skin before cooking. I think he's on to something.
