The reason it is taking so long for some folks is due to the surge in identity theft. The IRS is taking longer to process/review returns which is yielding success in reducing identity theft but also has a side effect: delayed tax refunds for many legitimate filers.
â¢ Youâll need to a llow about 24 hours for each 4 to 5 pounds of frozen turkey you plan to thaw in the fridge. Approximate times to defrost a whole turkey in the fridge: - 10 pounds â 2 days plus 12 hours - 15 pounds â 3 days plus 18 hours - 20 pounds â 5 days - 25 pounds â 6 days plus 6 hours.
I always make at least a 20 pound turkey, I figure why not have extra turkey. Iâm already making it, why not make more. Itâs really no more work to cook a 20 lb turkey than it is a 10 or 15 lb turkey. I love having the turkey to put in all sorts of meals.ou also see people putting a big turkey in the oven frozen or somehow it thaws out in a couple hours, again only on TV does that seem to work. The truth is it takes days to thaw a 20 lb. turkey. 2-3 days in cold water (I thaw my turkey in a cooler) this is my preferred method.
