Where In El Paso Can You Get Rid Of Your Used Turkey Fryer Oil?

I don't know about you but I'm pretty traditional when it comes to my Thanksgiving meal. I get up early to put on my turkey so it cooks low and slow. I use the drippings to make gravy. I make my own cranberry sauce and it's not a Thanksgiving table at my house without the green bean casserole and my great-aunt's serious china and crystal. The one thing I've never tried to cook and have never eaten is a deep-fried turkey. I hear they're really good, but I don't know, I just can't wrap my mind around it. And then, what the heck do you do with all that oil after you've fried your bird?

JUST A FEW THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU FRY
I've never tried to fry a turkey. My brother-in-law swears that it is the best and only way to eat a turkey on Thanksgiving, if you want to fry your turkey for Thanksgiving, there are a few things you need to know.

1. Make sure your turkey is completely defrosted - If the bird is at all frozen, the hot oil and frozen parts will make a turkey bomb, and while that might sound like a lot of fun, it isn't and you could have the towering inferno on your hands.

2. Never set up a turkey fryer indoors - You need to be outside, on a concrete surface with no vegetation or flammable items nearby. Make sure you aren't under your porch because if the oil catches fire it could set your house on fire.
