If You Have A Big Bird… It Might Take Longer. 

Quick-Thawing Your Turkey

  • To prevent the turkey from getting waterlogged during this quick-thaw process, put it in a large plastic bag to protect it.
  • Make sure the turkey fits inside the pot and can be fully submerged.
  • Fill the pot with cold water. Do not use warm or hot water to speed thawing.
  • Weigh the turkey down with a pot or other heavy pan if it floats.
  • Change the water every 30 minutes.
  • Continue until the turkey is thawed.

Cold Water Thawing Times

  • Allow about 30 minutes for every pound of turkey.
  • 4- to 12-pound turkey — 2 to 6 hours
  • 12- to 16-pound turkey — 6 to 8 hours
  • 16- to 20-pound turkey — 8 to 10 hours
  • 20- to 24-pound turkey — 10 to 12 hours

How to Know When Your Turkey Is Thawed

  • When thawed, the breast meat should feel pliable and springy. The legs and wings should move loosely in their sockets.

    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.
