Its that time to start thinking about getting your Turkeys Thawed. If you have a over 20lb bird you may need to load in cold water for a bit to get it safely thawed.

For more details on a safe way to thaw in cold water check out the USDA's site.

Ok maybe stupid question but are these times for regular cooking or brining then cooking? Again probably stupid but well as most of you know already that's me. 🤣
 
mine never defrost at those times listed, I have to leave them out for hours each day.
