how long should a turkey thaw?
A little early, but pre-planning, how long should a 10kg frozen bird thaw?

What's your method in the sink? cold water for a few hours?Chickinvic wrote: ↑ In the fridge it will take a long time (several days). If you cheat like me and do it in a sink with water - much less (and nobody has ever gotten sick from eating my turkey before someone chimes in).

Cold water overnight usually (I would probably put it in in the early evening and do it overnight). Sometimes I start the thaw in the fridge for a day or so first, but it is still pretty frozen after only a day in the fridge.michiebaby wrote: ↑ What's your method in the sink? cold water for a few hours?

Well of course, freshly wash your sink first with a disinfectant. When you use the water method the water stays fridge-cold because the turkey is like a giant ice cube. If you use the fridge method I figure some of the defrosted turkey has been at fridge temps for 4 or so days while in the sink everything happens in hours. I actually think the sink method is safer.

The Gordon Ramsey recipe looks very good. This is the weirdest turkey recipe I have ever come across:

the reviews aren't good but I suspect people are just put off by the burnt appearance and by the number 39 of something. Try the Gordon ramsey recipe and you have to make the sauce otherwise it wont be extraordinary. So easy to make too and a hit every time I make it.bonterra wrote: ↑ The Gordon Ramsey recipe looks very good. This is the weirdest turkey recipe I have ever come across:

lol. I love how they pair the charred turkey with pomegranates, the fruit that's like chewing on tree bark and berries. Sort of a gritty kinda theme going on.bonterra wrote: ↑ 39 Ingredient Black Lacquered Turkey.
