[QUOTE="DDD, post: 321585, member: 35"] Nomad, it's not any harder than you make it. Really. It should tell you right on the turkey package approximately how long it takes to defrost. When I have cut the time short I scrub the sink and put the turkey in cold water for an hour or so on Wed. just to make sure it finishes thawing in the refrigerator. Truthfully I stopped buying frozen turkeys so I don't have that worry anymore. Here's what I suggest. Go to the store and buy BIG cooking or roasting plastic bags....they are designated by size so check your pounds and buy a box that is the right size. Buy a big onion, a big lemon, a big navel orange and whatever herbs you like. Chop the big three into 5ths or 6ths with the peel left on the lemon and orange. Wash and dry your turkey (inside and out) and fill the cavity with the OLO and tuck the herbs in there last. Put into the roasting bag and follow the directions on the roasting bag box. The turkey will be moist and you do not have to touch it while it cooks...not once...it does it's own thing. The bag will tell you how long it should take. Make sure you have a meat thermometer and when you believe it is done put the thermometer in the turkey thigh and make sure it is 165 degrees (without touch the bone). Let the turkey sit for 15 or 30 minutes before you slice and serve. Couldn't be easier and worry free. Happy TDay. DDD [/QUOTE]
