Refrigerator Thawing Planning ahead is the key because a large frozen turkey requires at least 24 hours for every 5 pounds. Small amounts of frozen food â such as a pound of ground meat or boneless chicken breasts â require a full day to thaw.

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.
