the main suitable thank you to thaw a turkey is in the refrigerator, besides the undeniable fact that it takes a protracted time (as much as 3 or 4 days for a greater chook). yet another selection is to submerge the chook in room temperature water, the two in a huge bucket (like a 5 gallon bucket from living house Depot) or a plastic cooler. this ought to basically take approximately 2 days to thaw, fantastically in case you replace the water each various hours. additionally, it relatively is alright to place a chook lower back in the freezer if it relatively is been thawed out in part.

Refrigerator Thawing:
Thaw breast side up in its unopened wrapper on a tray in the refrigerator. Allow at least one day of thawing for every four pounds of turkey
Cold Water Thawing:
Thaw breast side down in its unopened wrapper in cold water to cover. Change the water every 30 minutes to keep surface cold
Estimate minimum thawing time to be 30 minutes per pound for whole turkey .
