Is there a faster way to thaw a frozen turkey?
Consumers who may have forgotten to put the turkey in the refrigerator to thaw can use a cold-water method: Submerge the turkey (in its store wrap) in cold water in a clean, large sink or bathtub. Allow 30 minutes of thawing time per pound. Drain and replace cold water every 30 minutes during the thawing process. Follow manufacturer´s instructions to thaw a smaller frozen turkey or turkey breast in a microwave oven. Thawing meat and poultry products in a microwave oven begins the cooking process, which will then need to be continued immediately.
