How do you defrost turkey that's already been cooked?

Answer 1

You should place the frozen turkey into a pan or shallow bowl and then place it in your refrigerator. It will take several days for a frozen 10-pound turkey to thaw completely, so if you are cooking it for Thanksgiving, you will want it in your fridge no later than Monday afternoon.

You could also sit the turkey in a sink full of water. Make sure to change the water every 30 minutes to prevent bacterial growth.

Answer 2

Safest way would be in the refrigerator for a couple of days but if you need it quickly, place it in the sink or large bowl completely covered in cold water. Let new water drizzle into the sink or bowl to keep the temperature from stabilizing. Using this method the chicken or turkey will defrost in a matter of a few hours, not days.

Answer 3

You sit the turkey in the sink with hot water for one and a half days!

Answer 4

Use the cold water method. Figure 30 minutes per pound.
