To Mom: Put your turkey breast in cold water Wednesday morning or afternoon and thaw as scheduled for whole turkey. If you leave it in refridgerator until Thursday it will still be frozen solid. I have left breast bone in in refridgerator for a whole week and it was still frozen solid. After it thaws you can put in back in the fridg til you are ready to cook it.

I have had 13.5 frozen turkey in the refridgerator for 6 days and it is still frozen solid. I only have 2 day to go, weird huh? Gues it will be the cold water method for be because the other didn’t work.

Agreed, PLEASE do not thaw your bird in the microwave unless someone dropped the ball and you have no other options. Also, the “best” cooking method is subjective but I have had the best results using the brining and roasting method. The BEST turkey ive ever had…I even get requests from my ex wife to do her turkey. Google Alton Brown Turkey…super easy and always juicy.

Please do not put frozen turkey in microwave. A disaster waiting to happen. Thaw in cold water. Best cooking method is deep fried.
