Thawing turkeys safely for Thanksgiving
Tips from Mae Martha Johnson of New Mexico State University explain safe thawing methods for frozen turkeys. Refrigerator thawing is best, with 24 hours per five pounds, keeping the bird cold and in original wrap on a tray, then removing giblets before roasting. If space is tight, use cold water thawing for six to eight hours with frequent water changes, ensuring the surface stays cool until oven time.
