Deep Fried Turkey

My first fried turkey was a sucess. Didn't burn the house down, or take a trip to the ER.
I believe I cooked it a little to long. I used the weight on the price sticker which was with the neck and guts. Plus after I put in the turkey the temp stayed at 300 degrees for the first and second 15 minutes (auto shut off) I then put the lid on it to raise the oil temp to 350. But left it in an extra 5 minutes.
It was still great, but the temp in the breast went to 170 degrees when I took it out. I read the ideal temp was 160 degrees. All in all it was great. And I'm hoping to perfect it next time Christmas Day.
