We were in Germany in the army an scrubbed the tub an filled about half way with cold water. Put the Turkey in it to thaw . Came back to check on it an my dog was in the tub with the bird.

For about three hours now I’ve had a frozen turkey, still wrapped outside in a 5 gallon bucket full of water with a few chunks of ice and I change it about every 40 or so minutes and the turkey itself is in a bag a trash bag that is in the bucket, but I’m getting so many different feedbacks all over the Internet about being wrapped verses unwrapped

Loving ya videos jan keep em coming :) it’s what weekends are made for

Wow! That's a good idea. This helps. Thanks.

Thanks Jan!!!

Ms. Jan Thank you for taking time out of your day to show us out here in You Tube land . How to defrost a turkey 🦃. It's nice having a big sister/ mother figure. To show us how to defrost the turkey. My favorite part of the video was when you said "Y'all let's get to cookin".😅😂😁👍🦃 I'm guessing you and your family 💖 are from the south of the United States. As for myself . It actually doesn't bother me to touch a raw turkey ☺️. Cause I've worked in a chicken 🐔 plant. Only for the brave at heart I guess. Blessings to you and your family 💖👍.

How do you miss the most important step of periodically changing the ice cold water?!?

Just in case it hasn't been thought of- if you fill the pot to the brim and continue with the trickle method, it seems like you'd get a headstart on the thaw since the cold won't just be being drawn out from just the surface area of the initial trickling water. Good idea, though. Thank you. 🙂

Thank you ma'am.

i noticed you arent changing the water every 30 minutes......

I would love to see the finished product and outcome.

Thats wrong the Turkey must be completely submerged in cold water and not let to stand at room for any amount of time! The water needs to be changed every half hour.

How big was your turkey?

how do I prepare the night before? do I just leave it out all night or in water or anything?

Quick + ly is quickly.

Bird needs to be fully submerged. The part that is already thawed and not covered in water is sitting at room temperature for too long and no longer safe. No reason to do a slow trickle of water.

I got a turkey in the bucket outside and it’s still wrapped and inside of a black garbage bag filled with water and a few chunks of ice and I put a rock to keep the turkey from floating and I’ve been changing it about every 30 to 45 minutes I hope I don’t vomit

No way….too risky for my taste😐

There is a much faster way microwave method which Im searching how to do now! UPDATE 3 YEARS LATER After researching again Dos and Dont's they dont recomment microwave defrosting a Turkey especially a big one.

@@AccountabilityFit Oh wait I did more research and Noo microwave isnt recommented best safe way is submerged into cold water and change the water out every half hour its recommented they all are saying, how ever I made it on every hour or more...if the turky is too big to cover the whole thing in the sink with cold water I decided to place a clean thick wash cloth towel over the part that sicks out of the water and run more cold water on it till the water reaches to the top of the sink that way the Turkey stays cold on top too.. That is after cleaning scrubbing and disinfecting your sink first.

@@cosmeticsandpurseswithevelyn I'm about an hour into microwave & defrosting it, lol. I'm glad you responded. The outside is thawed, the wings are really thaw, and the inside is frozen. Plan B now is to cut it down into smaller pieces and pressure cook from frozen. It should take around 115 minutes. Thanks.

@@AccountabilityFit Quick googled the presure cooker so long as its not a slow cooker obviously - Yes, it is safe to cook frozen food in a pressure cooker or an electric pressure cooker like an Instant Pot. However, if you only have the slow cooker version of the Instant Pot, then it is not safe to cook frozen food in it. It is safe to cook frozen food in a pressure cooker because it uses pressure to move food through the "Danger Zone" quickly. As a result, you don't run into the issues that you would find by cooking frozen food in a slow cooker, where it can stay too long in the Danger Zone and could become unsafe.

Did you just soap wash your hands where the giblets were sitting? Not very tasty 👅
