Peanut oil is usually used for a few reasons.
1 cost - it's cheaper than some other oils
2 smoke point - it has a higher smoke point than most oils
3 flavor - it doesn't add flavor to the turkey
4 absorption - because of the high cooking temperature and other reasons less peanut oil is absorbed than other oils might, cooking at lower temperatures also increases absorption of oil.
Aside from cost, safflower oil is actually a better choice, but obviously much more expensive. Soybean oil will have a higher absorption and other oils like grapeseed add odd tastes.
