THANKSGIVING PREP TIP: DEFROSTING A TURKEY
In the fridge it takes 24 hours to defrost 5 lbs. of turkey. In a sink of cold water, it takes about 2 1/2 hours. So a 15 lb. turkey will take 3 days to defrost in the fridge. Leave it in the original packaging. Do NOT defrost on the counter or in hot water. If you defrost in the sink, change your water every 30 minutes.
-You want your turkey defrosted TWO DAYS BEFORE you roast it, so be sure to start defrosting your turkey soon. If you have a 20 lb. frozen turkey, start defrosting it today!
