We never reuse it for turkey-we do a turkey, then follow with a couple of ducks. Strain it between uses. then I like to finish with domestic chickens-gives em a nice taste based on the stuff we inject the turkey with-never thought about taters but bet that would make them good to-got a friend who follows turkey with sweet corn still in the husk-have had it a man o man will it make your eyes light up.

as soon as my oil cools,I strain it and put back into jug for later use.if I don't have another turkey to cook,I use it for all my frying use.chickens,fish,taters,or what ever.if you cook a big batch of taters , they will kinda (Clean) the oil.
I use it till is runs out or get brunt(if you use peanut oil) it doesn't burn like other oils.never waste the oil,it is good for all sorts of cooking.[8D]

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
Tree Climber you bring up a good point. I think I must have burned my oil, because I don't think it was re usable. My problem (I think) was that I did not have a good thermometer. I have since purchased a good thermometer and my frying has become better. What temperature do you guys normally cook at?
I reuse mine many times. The oils I get say on the box that you can filter and reuse for three months. If you burn it though it will be trash. Watch yor temp.
On another note I found that after you inject the bird with what ever marinaid you are going to use I melt some butter and inject that as well right before it goes in the fry pot. Realy enhances the marinaid and moistens the meat.
