Oven Baked or Deep Fried?

Well every year I cook the turkey. I have traditionally cooked the turkey in the oven for numerous hours and back about 10 years ago I went to a friends house where he deep fried a turkey.
I was hooked!
For the last 10 years I have deep fried the turkey in peanut oil. It takes just under an hour and is so juicy.
What is everyone's preference?

I had deep fried for the first time last year and it was very good. I don't think I will even smell turkey this year.

I've never had deep fried turkey but I hear it's great and I'd love to try it some time.

I love to cook, I've hosted Thanksgiving many times. This year, I'm going to my brother's for the holiday. I'm really looking forward to it but it is a little sad to not be cooking. I feel like I'm celebrating the holiday but not participating in it.

We should have planned a DS turkey gathering. :)

The stbx is going to her parents for Thanksgiving. I'm going to my parents but they are going vegetarian and talking some non-sense about so-called tofu turkey. WTF!!!

I think I'm going bake myself a small turkey because I LOVE TURKEY... :)

I like both, but since I don't have a turkey fryer, I will be baking for hours.

I love deep fried turkey! I don't like the mess outside. So, this year I'm baking my and pretending that the baked turkey counter acts all the other bad foods I'm eating :)

I personally have NEVER cooked a turkey. No need to-someone else always did it. BUT the deep fried version is very tasty! X did that a couple of times.

This year-Mom is cooking-baked of course. And I just know it will be mouth watering delish!!!

BTW-Tofu turkey-blechky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tofu anything.....blechly!!!!! Son is vegan-no meat-no life.... LOL

Love deep fried, but hate that I can't put the stuffing in it. It just doesn't taste the same unless it comes out of the turkey :p). And alas, I will be turkey-less this year, as turkey for one...well, that's just too sad.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
