For A Whole Turkey in the
Microwave
When thawing in the microwave,
follow the manufacturer’s
directions for defrosting a turkey.
They should have recommendations
for the cook level and time
according to the size of the bird.
Plan on cooking the turkey
immediately after thawing as some
areas of the bird warm up quickly
and begin to cook during the
microwave thaw. Turkey should
not be held for later cooking after
thawing in the microwave as this
increases the chance for bacterial
growth.
Reference: USDA Turkey Basics: Safe Thawing
Source: Annhall Norris, Extension Associate for Food Safety and Preservation; University
of Kentucky, College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
Turkeys must be kept at a safe
temperature during the thawing
process. They should never be left
out at room temperature on the
counter, in the basement or any
place where the temperature is
above 40 degrees F. When a frozen
turkey begins to thaw, any bacteria
that may be present on the meat
before freezing will begin to grow.
If the meat stays in the Danger
Zone, 40-140 degrees F, for more
than 2 hours, bacteria can grow
rapidly. USDA recommends three
ways to safely thaw food:
In the refrigerator;
In the sink using the cold water
method; or
In the microwave.
For A Whole Turkey in the
Refrigerator
When thawing in the refrigerator,
make sure you allow enough time.
You will need about 24 hours for
each 4-5 pounds of turkey in a
refrigerator set at 40 degrees F.
Also, place the bird in a large pan to
collect any juices that may drip and
contaminate other food. The rule
of thumb is 24 hours of thawing
time for each 5 pounds.
A turkey thawed in the refrigerator
can remain in the refrigerator for 1-
2 days before cooking. If necessary,
the bird can be frozen again
without cooking, but there will be
some loss of quality.
5 lbs. 24 hours
10 lbs. 48 hours
15 lbs. 72 hours
20 lbs. 96 hours
For a Whole Turkey in Cold Water
The cold water method is simply
thawing the turkey in a sink of cold
water that is changed every 30
minutes. You should allow about 30
minutes for each pound of turkey.
Be sure to use cold water and make
sure the bird is wrapped securely in
a leak proof bag in order to prevent
cross contamination and a watery
bird.
A turkey thawed using the cold
water method must be cooked
immediately.
4-12 lbs. 2-6 hours
12-16 lbs. 6-8 hours
16-20 lbs. 8-10 hours
20-24 lbs. 10-12 hours
