can i cook the turkey still somewhat frozen?

Answer 1

Yes, I do each time I cook turkey. That way it is not sitting out for many hours to thaw. Just wrap in aluminum foil, add water, seasonings and bake for many hours on a low temp.

Answer 2

I have cooked a totally frozen turkey! With no bad results. BUT....to do this I bake it all night the night before covered and on low...about 225 to 250, depending on the size....then in the morning I take it out and remove the bags of innards, baste, and recover, turn the heat up and in a few hours it is completely done. I make about 6 to 8 turkeys a year and have done this for years and no one has ever gotten sick....it is cooked....actually I think it's better because of all the slow cooking, that is what makes meats tender and mine always is...falls right off the bone. I have a large family and turkeys are very cheap sometimes and you get alot of meat and meals out of one turkey so that is why I make so many in a years time. Hope this helps.

You need to get the giblets out, which is hard when it is somewhat frozen. I run water through it to get them out. If you decide to go ahead with this, be sure that the internal temperature is correct, use a meat thermometer, the correct temp for poultry will be listed on it.

Answer 4

I do it all the time. I cook the breast in a crock pot and it always turns out fine. I recommend that you cook it on low or warm (If using a crock pot) until it thaws somewhat(Usually about an hour).

Answer 5

NO WAY put the bird under luke warm water to thaw you want your bird to cook evenly and partially thawed you won't have a precise baking time which you need.

Answer 6

DEFINATELY not - you risk poisoning everyone!

Take the bag of inards out of the carcas and immerse in COLD water. Change the water every hour or so.
