Since the most important part of your Thanksgiving feast is the big turkey, the first part of this series is: How To Thaw A Turkey Safely!Before you start cooking Thanksgiving dinner, make sure you have started thawing your turkey well in advance. The important part of thawing is making sure the turkey stays free from bacteria. Bacteria that could have been present before freezing, can become present and multiply rapidly if the turkey is not thawed properly. The recommended way to thaw a turkey is in the refrigerator. Just be aware that you must allot a full 24 hours of thawing time for each 4-5 pounds of turkey, so start early! After the turkey is thawed it can be safely stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Another option for thawing your turkey is cold water thawing, which is less time consuming; taking only 30 minutes per pound. All you have to do is wrap the turkey in a leak-proof plastic bag and then submerge it into cold water. But, make sure you change the water every 30 minutes and then cook the turkey as soon as it is thawed.
To ensure a healthy and happy Thanksgiving for all, it is important to know How To Safely Thaw A Turkey to keep bacteria at bay.
