Never done it myself (and I am dying to try it), but one suggestion I have heard from more than one source is to
- Put uncooked turkey into cold, empty fryer
- Pour water into fryer to "fill" line
- Remove turkey
- The water level now in fryer is the level that you should fill with oil
- Heat oil, etc.
Make sure to account for stuffing if applicable to account for volume - I don't know if stuffing is cooked with the Turkey when frying.
This takes the guesswork out of how much oil and prevents spills (from too much oil)
