Thawing your Turkey
|
 |
|
The
preferred method is to thaw in the refrigerator. (Yes,
the one filled with the rest of the holiday fare.) Allow
one day for every 5 pounds. That means a 15-pound turkey
will require three days to thaw thoroughly.
An alternate method is to thaw the bird in a sink or
bucket full of cold water. Keep the turkey in its
original wrapper and make sure it is completely covered
with cold water. You may need to cover the turkey with a
plate and place some heavy cans on top of it to keep it
totally submerged. It is vital for the sake of safety
that you change the cold water every 30 minutes. Using
this method, it will take approximately 30 minutes per
pound to thaw a turkey. That 15-pound turkey will
require only 7 1/2 hours to thaw using this approach. It
is also possible to use a combination of these methods. |
