Fire officials with Albuquerque Fire Rescue share what can happen if a turkey is improperly cooked in a deep fryer.

As you would when cooking inside, don’t allow your dog, cat, or toddler to wander anywhere near a deep fryer outside. Children and pets are unpredictable and might swat or knock over the container or want to touch it, partly because it’s a new and different thing, and the meat likely smells very good to your puppy.
