You should also avoid oil spills by first filling the pot with cold oil,
and then, lower the thawed turkey into the pot to measure exactly how
much oil yourCOll need.
How come you can't put the turkey in, then cover it with enough cold
oil, remove turkey, and warm the oil up?

Your description is what Ubiquitous undoubtedly meant.
Slightly better is to put the thawed turkey in the empty fryer, add
water to cover turkey, remove turkey, measure how much water you added. Replace water with oil, heat oil.
This way you don't have an oil-soaked turkey dripping while you wait for
the oil to heat. aCleaning up water drips is easier than oil drips.

I'd also do it this way with these secondary/implied details:
- "measure how much water" - I would take this literally and just
note where the water line is inside the pot and add oil to that level.
- I'd wipe the inside of the pot completely dry - I will speculate
that the insurance company decided not to use water because some
people won't dry the pot and cause undesired excitement as the oil
hits the boiling point of water.
- I'd also drain/dry the turkey
