Refrigerator Thawing Planning ahead is the key to this method because of the lengthy time involved. A large frozen item like a turkey requires at least a day (24 hours) for every 5 pounds of weight. Even small amounts of frozen food â such as a pound of ground meat or boneless chicken breasts â require a full day to thaw. When thawing foods in the refrigerator, there are variables to take into account. 1  Some areas of the appliance may keep food colder than other areas. 2  Food will take longer to thaw in a refrigerator set at 35 Â°F than one set at 40 Â°F. After thawing in the refrigerator, items such as ground meat, stew meat, poultry, seafood, should remain safe and good quality for an additional day or two before cooking; red meat cuts (such as beef, pork or lamb roasts, chops and steaks) 3 to 5 days.
