   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
