Another tip: Put your (wrapped) turkey in the empty fry pot first and fill with water to where it would be properly covered if it was oil.
Remove the turkey and note the line where water comes up to.
Empty and dry your fryer, then fill with oil to that point.
When you add the turkey, it will now be perfectly filled.
You could also do this with just oil, no water, but then your turkey will be more difficult to handle.

That's a good practice too for sure. But our pot has a fill line so as long as you are using the recommended size bird for your pot it's a non issue. Like don't try to drop a 20lb turkey into a pot made to safely cook a 10-14lb bird and you'll be good.
