Defrosting in the fridge works great--seems like the breast is more moist.

Great advice . I never leave mine at room temp . My best advice is never put your husbans in charge of thawing the turkey or you may spend 3 or more hours thanksgiving morning pouring salt water up you turkeys back side . Not a great way to start your day at 4 am . -

My problem is the opposite, it's a 15 lb bird, been in the fridge since Thurs night, and I wonder how long I can go without cooking it? hmmmmm. Back to the drawing board. (today is Weds)

Great advice. Especially the part about those folks who like to leave their turkeys out overnight on the counter tops to thaw.

Works fine for chickens too, I think.

As soon as you can get the frozen bird thawed enough to remove wrapping, soak the almost frozen bird in cold water in your sink. Make sure your sink is clean beforehand. You must change the water every 15 to 20 minutes to ensure the water is not getting to the temperature that bacteria grows at. After about 2-3 hours, you can remove the inside bag of giblets. Then you should keep with the water changing cycle for another 2-3 hours until fully thawed. Frozen turkey to thawed for emergency = about 6 hours for 17-22 pound turkey.

If you're rushed to get your frozen turkey thawed as fast as possible, place the turkey in a clean kitchen sink and run cold water continuously over it until thawed. A 10-12 pound turkey can be thawed in 6-8 hours.

Simply place your frozen turkey into a sink or large container filled with cold water. Every hour you replace the cold water until the turkey is thawed. Just make sure the entire bird is submerged under water.
