With some turkeys approaching 20 pounds or more, they can take days to fully thaw at refrigerator temperatures. In general, a frozen turkey will require approximately 24 hours for every 5 pounds at or below 40Â° F to fully thaw. In cold water, a turkey will require approximately 30 minutes per pound to fully thaw.
The safest way to thaw a turkey is in refrigerator. Thawing at room temperature or in a sink of warm water invites bacteria to multiply too rapidly. Allow a day in the refrigerator for every 4 pounds (presuming a 40-degree refrigerator). So: 12-pound turkey = 3 days to thaw (purchase by Monday morning of Thanksgiving week) 16 pounder = 4 days to thaw (purchase by Sunday morning of Thanksgiving week). Oops ... I bought my frozen turkey on Tuesday. Now what? Use the quick-thaw method: Leave the turkey in the original packaging. Put it in the sink and cover with COLD water - never warm. Change the icy water every 30 to 60 minutes. This takes 30 minutes per pound, or six hours for a 12-pound bird. Once thawed, it's safe in the refrigerator for three or four days before cooking.
