Yeah Umm..You could always just keep it in the bag...
drying it off afterwards is always an option too....in case you are using a fresh caught bird. Maybe even put it in a large plastic trash bag.
you just want to check the level so it doesn't surge over the top when you put the bird in.....thats what causes most of the fires when deep frying a turkey
