Before you even start the oil, you should put a gallon of water in the fryer. Place the turkey in. See where the water line is then add more water as needed. Once you have the ideal amount, pour into a bowl. This will do two things for you.

A vegetable spread contains a higher water content, thus making it softer when at cooler temperatures.

That's why when you put it back in the fridge you find water in with your margarine. Margarine will not separate lie that, at least not as much or as easily.

What is healthier Canola Oil or Vegetable Oil?

Canola

Actually, canola oil is typically extracted and refined using high heat, pressure, and petroleum solvents like hexane. Most canola oil undergoes a process of caustic refining, degumming, bleaching, and deoderization, all using high heat and questionable chemicals.

You're much better off using the far healthier, Cold-Pressed, Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

All of the high heat processing can create trans-fats in the canola oil. And we all know how bad trans fats are.

If you're looking for the healthiest fats, stick to Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Unrefined Coconut Oil and Grass-Fed Butter.

All of those oils are not only "not bad for you" but they've actually got properties that make them "good for you"
