I can tell you that deep fried is one of the worst ways to cook anything much less a turkey lol

I have to disagree with this.
If done right, deep frying does NOT add fat to the turkey - especially if you don't eat the skin.
If the oil is hot enough to properly cook the turkey, the meat does not absorb the oil. The trick there, of course, is to make sure the oil is hot enough and the turkey is properly fried.
I'm not sure where you got your figures from, but I have to disagree with them as well. First of all, you don't say what part of the turkey (white meat has fewer calories and fat than dark meat) and you don't say if it's with or without the skin. And finally you don't say how much meat you're talking about. But I find it really really hard to believe that even if it were breaded and soaked in oil, a serving of turkey would be 600 calories.
This if from Livestrong:
2 oz of deep fried turkey breast (no skin) = 60 cals, 2g fat, 10g protein
2 oz of oven roasted turkey breast (no skin) = 50 cals, 1g fat, 10g protein
