If you don't have 3-4 days to thaw your turkey you can keep it in the wrapper and cover it with cool water. Change the water every 20 min or so and the turkey will thaw in a few hours. This was Anne's tip on a food network show that just aired.

You need to defrost the turkey FIRST! and unfortunately it takes several days to thaw in the fridge. up to four. the last thing you want is a frozen bird on thanksgiving morning. I've been in charge of the turkey for about 15 years. One year I even roasted 6 turkeys for those less fortunate. Ive also been using apple cider as my basting liquid most of the 15 years and it creates the most amazing gravy EVER! One year I made a different recipe and my family was complaining the whole time. I got my recipe from an old Bon appetit cook book for poultry and you are suppose to use white wine instead of apple cider but the cider had way more flavor. You also roast the bird breast side down until the last hour and then flip it to brown the breasts. this creates the juiciest breasts ever! and the bottom isnt all slimy! Anne is for sure on the right track! She is such a great chef!

I agree with Heather. If it takes a day or two to thaw, and it's thrawed throughout the brining process, we're looking at a 3-4 day thawed bird, and starting the thawing process this weekend?

I haven't tried this recipe yet but I would think 2-3 day is too long? To answer Heather your turkey should be thawed.

I've never cooked a turkey, and I'm undertaking this recipe. It doesn't state weather the turkey should be thawed or frozen... my turkey is in the freezer, so should I defrost in the fridge before brining? That seems like a long time to be raw without cooking.

In the recipe for the turkey brine, it states to cut the head of garlic equatorially? I am assuming this means cut the garlic head horizontally, but do you peal the cloves or do you just cut the head in half and toss it in? Help please.

I love the turkey recipe and will be making it this Thanksgiving. However, I'm not a stuffing lover person and your recipe looks delicious enough for me to try it. Please make sure its uploaded into the FN library before Turkey day! Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
