Re: WARNING: 3 Days To Thaw A Turkey
I feel bad for people who don't know this a day before thanksgiving so I am giving you a heads up.

It takes 3 days to thaw a frozen turkey in the fridge.

I would give it 5 days to be safe!

That is all!

Saturday night would be a good time to pull it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge.

Sunday night at the latest!

depending on its size.. and whether you wish to finish it in the sink. for "safety" I prefered an enhanced thaw in the sink.

If you plan for 5 days then it'll be 4 days thawing & it takes damn near a day to cook the thing.
 Quoting: Mental Case


Deep fried!

Did it 2 years in a row.

when the turkeys done you make French fries in the turkey flavored oil! Absolutely amazing!

Deep fried means no proper gravy which is important to many of us. No homemade gravy on Thanksgiving are you kidding me. Store bought is shit.

My sibling's family is grilling their turkey (same concept as frying, i.e. no gravy) so being a proper American and concerned with traditional American values not to mention that fact that is truly awesome and easy to make, I bought my own turkey to roast ahead of time to make gravy and take it over to my sibling's home.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77967733


Turkeys can be bought for around 85 cents per pound this time of year or lower. Buy another one and bake it for the drippings for gravy. All it takes is a twelve pounder so less than ten bucks.

I always buy four turkeys and save three for later.

Re: WARNING: 3 Days To Thaw A Turkey
For the past 5 yrs I've went to Trader Joe's and bought a fresh turkey.

----------------

That's a damn good idea!

I just feel bad when I get onto GLP on Thanksgiving-eve & tell people to give up on their frozen solid bird...it's too late.

So I thought I would give an early heads-up this year :)

It still needs to be thawed. Only deep fry a turkey outside. Many houses are burnt down by idiots trying to deep fry a turkey.

Watch some You Tube vids on it.

You can also slow cook it in the oven. I would say 250 degrees for about 20 hours should be close, frozen to cooked. Then the last hour cover with a little oil and herbs and salt and pepper and crank the oven up to 500 should be nice and golden brown.

I'd be OK with that with beef or pork.

It's perfectly fine to leave a frozen turkey on the counter until it's defrosted. It's literally colder than the refrigerator as long as it's an ice cube.

That's not how that works.

Heat will not allow bacteria to grow.

250 is plenty hot to kill all harmful bacteria.

It's actually far safer than thing at room temperature it in the sink.

Re: WARNING: 3 Days To Thaw A Turkey
A Deep Fried Turkey is by far the tastiest way to cook the bird. But, it does not come without....oh let's say....considerable risk.

If you know what you're doing; GREAT!

If not?

Well, this video will give you a few ideas on what happens if you screw-up your Deep Fried Turkey.

Enjoy:

You are talking about cooking a frozen bird.

The outside will get a different amount of heat than the inside frozen cavity...the outside & inside will have different thaw rates.

It's a dangerous game with a high price to pay.

I would thaw it in the fridge!

One safety tip for deep frying a turkey...

Get the oil up to temp AND TURN THE HEAT SOURCE OFF.

Then put the bird in the oil and if there isn't oil spilling all over the place...turn the heat source back on.

With any luck you wont burn your house down.

Re: WARNING: 3 Days To Thaw A Turkey
I once baked a turkey breast side down & covered.

Then I flipped it upright and baked uncovered for the last hour.

It fell apart...but it was the best damn turkey I ever tasted!

The only thing you miss out on is the whole-bird presentation (because it falls apart).
 Quoting: Mental Case


Yup! It doesn't resemble once it gets touched when trying to

plate it.

But that is the best damn moist turkey when you cook it right!

I didn't cook it that way but basted the heck out of it and

one other thing I can't seem to fully remember but that year.

everyone loved the turkey. It wasn't the usual 'dry meat'

type we usually have "anywhere you go."

And I always hate that. Freaking taste and chews like balsa wood.
Living has taught me one thing; nothing is certain...except salvation through Jesus Christ!
