With Thanksgiving approaching in less than three weeks, and in case you might be hosting your first dinner, bookmark these tips on preparing for the big meal.
To start, here are tips on how to properly defrost a turkey. Remember, it takes at least one day to defrost. The bigger the bird, the longer to defrost.
1. In the refrigerator: Thaw the turkey breast side up, in its unopened wrapper in the refrigerator. Allow at least 1 day of thawing for every 4 pounds of turkey
2. In the sink: Thaw the turkey breast side down, in its unopened wrapper, in enough cold water to cover it completely. Change the water frequently to keep the turkey chilled. Estimate a minimum thawing time of 30 minutes per pound for a whole turkey.
Good Luck!
