I received a frozen smoked turkey...when should I take it to thaw for Christmas dinner...Thaw in the Refer for 3 days before you wish to eat.

Note...The fastest and best bet to keep the meat moist is to Slice the meat and shingle it in a roasting pan. Follow the above instructions except the reheat will only take about 20 minutes...JJ
