    Defrosting Turkey

    I have a 24 lb frozen turkey to defrost. Would appreciate suggestions as to the best way to procede. I am concerned about doing it in a healthy manner.
    Thanks Scoffy

    That's a big bird!!! Put it in the fridge with it's own drip tray at least 2-3 days in advance.....

    How many cranes does it take to lift Scoffy's turkey? oh, sorry not the question..........I put mine in a cooler with cold water, ice cubes and ice packs. for several days and keep an eye on it to keep it cold and submerged. Still wrapped.
    Have you made sure this monster will fit in your oven and just what is the occasion? just curious.
