This food will keep for about 5 days in the refrigerator. Place the food in an air tight container for the best results. This food can easily be transferred to the freezer for longer storage time.
Figure one day of thawing in the fridge for each 4-5 pounds of turkey. So it should take a 18lb bird about 4 days to thaw.
The best way to defrost anything is in the fridge. It keeps the food out of the danger zone, but it does require more time to thaw. If you plan to eat your turkey on the weekend I'd say pull it as early as monday and put it in the fridge on a tray.

It takes a long time. One day in the fridge for each 5 lbs. A 20 lb. turkey will take 4 days in the refrigerator. If you need to defrost in a hurry you will need to take drastic action and provide a running bath of cold water, not a static bath. Check often and prepare for the oven as soon as possible. The key here is temperature is not your friend with food. Bacteria will grow between 40 and 160 degrees (they actually never stop growing, even in the freezer but grow much, much slower) The amount of time a turkey (or other food) spends in this danger zone is crucial. So get that turkey into a hot oven as soon as it is defrosted in this manner.
It takes around 2 hours and 10 minutes:)
Male wild turkeys generally weigh 11 to 24 lbs, and are 39 to 49 inches long. Females are only 6.6 to 12 lbs and are 30 to 37 inches long. The record for largest wild turkey male was 38 lbs (according to the National Wild Turkey Federation).
It would take approximately 480 helium balloons to lift a 20-pound frozen turkey. Helium can lift about 0.04 lbs per balloon, so 20 lbs divided by 0.04 lbs per balloon equals 500 balloons.
It depends on how much your turkey weighs...about 40 mins for a 14 lbs turkey. Make sure you check the temp. and it has to be at least 165 degrees
If we compare organic products, we can conclude that turkey is cheaper. 6.25 lbs. of roast beef costs $57 whereas 14 lbs. of turkey costs $62. Hope this helps.
