Frozen Turkey

Thanks all for advice, no rats in the garage #thankfully!
I think I'll put it in the bucket as I normally doo.
Thanks appreciate advice xx

I usually defrost mine in the conservatory but since having a new roof, windows and doors it's as warm as any other room in the house so I could do it in the spare fridge freezer in the garage but give it an extra couple of days which would mean putting it in the fridge today. Hmmm

That's one mighty bird!

I defrost mine in the cellar, in a box, with something heavy on top. We've never seen vermin down there, but I'm taking no chances.

As for how long it takes, I just follow the instructions on the wrapping.

That's a good one, Dilly!

Shysal where in the car do you put it? In the driving seat?

I hope you don't have rats in the garage! If I run out of space to defrost, or store a fresh bird, I use my car!

D bought GD a large frozen turkey yesterday so I told her to leave it in the 'fridge for as long as poss. because they tend to still have ice lumps inside them so must be thoroughly thawed before cooking.

I've usually defrosted a frozen turkey in an unheated conservatory.
I've never had one that big, but two or three days to defrost in a cold garage ought to be sufficient.
I hope it goes well.
