How long do you need to let a frozen turkey thaw? Is there some rule about how long per pound, it takes? I havent cooked a turkey in many moons (about 8 years) ... I know it takes a couple of days. I think I've only baked three turkeys in my life. I'm nervous! :shock:
Refrigerator Thawing Times (Whole turkey) * 8 to 12 pounds..........1 to 2 days * 12 to 16 pounds..........2 to 3 days * 16 to 20 pounds..........3 to 4 days * 20 to 24 pounds..........4 to 5 days
