If the turkey isn't thawed out completely, it can lead to uneven cooking, resulting in parts that are undercooked and potentially unsafe to eat. To remedy this, you can cook the turkey from its partially frozen state, but be sure to extend the cooking time by about 50%. Alternatively, you can thaw it more quickly using the cold water method by submerging it in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes until fully thawed. Always ensure the turkey reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) before serving.
It's best to brine a thawed turkey rather than a frozen one. Brining requires the turkey to be fully thawed so that the salt and flavors can penetrate the meat effectively. If you brine a frozen turkey, the brine won't be able to reach the meat properly, resulting in uneven seasoning. Always ensure the turkey is completely thawed before beginning the brining process.
