Thawing Out A Turkey For Dinner? Make Sure That This Crucial Step Is Never Overlooked

This Refridgerator Thawing Is Perfect To Do Before The Big Day…

Refrigerator Thawing

  1. Place  turkey on a roasting rack in a roasting pan.
  2. This will catch any juices that may leak from the turkey's packaging as it thaws.
  3. The rack helps to elevate the turkey and provide circulation on all sides for even thawing.
  4. Transfer the turkey to the refrigerator. Make sure there is nothing touching or leaning against the turkey.
  5. Do not place anything else in the pan with the turkey.
  6. Total thawing time will depend on the size of your turkey; refer to the chart below.
  7. If you have time, give yourself a day or two as a buffer just in case your turkey takes longer to thaw than expected.
  8. Thawed turkeys can be kept for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.

    I use the cold water thawing method every year and once my turkey goes in the oven I disinfect the whole kitchen before I prep anything else.
