How To Thaw a Thanksgiving Turkey

HINGHAM, Mass.- Thanksgiving is exactly one week away which means it's time to start thinking about when you should begin to thaw your turkey. Whether or not you've begun to consider how long it will take, you should definitely plan ahead since it is a slow process! However, it's important to know how to thaw a Thanksgiving turkey so that the meat stays safe for your big feast.

How To Thaw a Thanksgiving Turkey

1. The best way to thaw your turkey for Thanksgiving is in the refrigerator. All you have to do is put the turkey in the fridge in its original packaging on a baking sheet with sides so that the juices don't make a mess. The safest place in your fridge for the turkey is the lowest shelf near the back since it is the coldest. As it thaws, use an instant-read digital thermometer to check the temperature in multiple locations to make sure that the turkey stays around 40-45 degrees Fahrenheit throughout. Just remember that your turkey will only thaw at a rate of about 4 lbs per day so you need to plan ahead!

2. If you forgot to take your Thanksgiving turkey out of the freezer early enough to thaw it in the refrigerator, then your next best option is to thaw it in cold water. This method is a bit faster since your turkey will thaw at a rate of about 2 lbs per hour, but it is also more work since you have to change the water regularly. To thaw your Thanksgiving turkey in cold water you will first need to make sure it is sealed in a waterproof bag before you submerge it. From there you will need to check the water often with a thermometer. If the water gets to be warmer than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, it needs to be changed.
