You may want to use a long-reach lighter or a long match. Use a thermometer to keep a close eye on the temperature as you heat the oil to make sure it doesn't get too hot. If your oil gets too hot, the outside of your turkey will cook faster than the inside, resulting in an undercooked bird. You also increase your risk of a grease fire. If you have a hanger, push the long end through the cavity of the turkey so that the hooks are firmly seated on the bottom of the turkey. Attach the handle and lift the turkey to make sure it feels secure. If you have a basket, place the turkey breast-side down. If the oil starts to spit, slowly lift the turkey back out. Do not drop the turkey in the oil! If you have to take the turkey out, double-check that the oil is the correct temperature and that the turkey is completely cleaned out and dried. Usually, spitting oil is a result of moisture coming into contact with the hot grease. A general guideline for how long this will take is roughly 3 minutes for each pound (0.4 kg) of bird, but you should always go by the internal temperature of the turkey rather than the cooking time. If you have a basket, use oven mitts to lift it by the handle. If you are using a hanger, carefully fish the turkey from the fryer. Allow the oil to drain off as you lift the bird. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure you get an accurate reading. The temperature of the turkey should be a minimum of 165F (74C). The juices from the turkey need time to redistribute throughout the meat in order to get the best results. You can drain the turkey on paper towels or on a rack.

Summary: Light the burner and monitor the oil until it reaches 350F (177C). Place the turkey in the basket or attach it to the hanger. Slowly lower the turkey into the oil. Cook the turkey to a temperature of 165F (74C). Slowly lift the turkey out of the oil when it's time to check it. Test the temperature in both thighs and both sides of the breast. Allow the turkey to rest for 20 minutes before carving.

The most difficult part of having the conversation is starting it. Make sure that you are in quiet and private location when you have this talk, away from your other siblings. Start by saying something like "So, I really wanted to talk to you today about me getting on birth control." If your mom reacts by yelling at you, remain calm. Take a deep breath, and wait for a pause. Then say, "Please hear me out." Explain to your mom all the reasons why you want to get on birth control. This will help guide her as she is making her decision on whether or not to allow you. Be very honest with her; if you want to get on birth control because you are having sex, you should tell her this. If she finds out you are keeping secrets, she will be less likely to trust you to make important decisions like this. Perhaps you don't want birth control for contraceptive purposes and are interested in it only to regulate your period. Tell your mom this. In addition to the health benefits, one of the most important outcomes of birth control is preventing pregnancy. If you are still at the point that you have to ask your mom for permission to get on birth control, then you probably are not at the stage in your life to have your own child. If you are sexually active, tell your mother about this concern of yours. She very likely does not want you to have a child at this time, either. Finally, you should tell your mom how important her opinion is on this. Tell her that you would not want to get on birth control at this age without her knowledge and consent and that you respect her opinion and judgement. You can say "Mom, I know that if no one else will take care of me, you will. And I think that getting on birth control is really important for my health right now, especially since I'm sexually active." After you have spoken your peace, listen to your mom. She may have not even considered the idea of you getting on birth control, so bear with her. This could be new information. Hear her out and answer any questions that she might have honestly. Don't interrupt her when she is speaking. If your mom seems open to the idea of you getting on birth control, ask about her experience with it. See if it affected her emotionally, made her gain weight, have headaches, or eased off her periods. Ask her any other questions that you might have, whether they be about birth control, sex, or periods. Perhaps you are a bit too afraid to talk to your mom in person. If your mom tends to lash out or overreacts, then sending her your thoughts via email might be the best decision. You can also write her a letter explaining how you feel and all of your reasons for wanting to start birth control. Though your mom may not want you to get on birth control at the moment, she may not have a problem with you going to see a gynecologist, especially if you have a very heavy period. Talk to her about wanting to see a gyno about this issue as well as any others you might be experiencing; the doctor will likely suggest birth control for you.

Summary: Break the ice. Talk about why you want it. Talk about being responsible. Tell her how important her opinion is. Listen. Ask her questions. Send an email if you don't feel comfortable talking in person. Talk about going to the gynecologist.
