Thanks for taking the time to film this. Most helpful, especially under the 40 degree point. Ron

Thank you so much I bought a 20lb frozen Turkey on Sunday and figured it would be safe and thawed out on thurday by placing it in the fridge soon as I brought it home.

This is for Thanksgiving 2018 and your video was a big help. Thank you so much for your time and knowledge !

Thank you for the info. I'm making a 20lb turkey for the entire family this year and wouldn't want to mess up. I'm glad I came across your vid today. Just in time to move him to the fridge :)

i was sold when you imitate uncle bob, I love it.

Great video. Very informative and I appreciate you taking your precious time to teach us to be safe💜🙏🏾💜

Hey, this help me out big time!! This will be my 1st year frying a turkey. Great food for thought!

Right on point! Thank you, this video helped me a lot. Merry Christmas!

I liked the video based on your opening message alone. Thank you.

Thanks for the information Mr. Hands! I've got a turkey that's been in the freezer for around 9 months and I couldn't find anyone who could tell me if it was safe to eat. 24 hours for each 5 pounds is very easy to remember. Again, thanks.

Thank you for confirming what it says on our turkeys packaging. My girl friend still questions it...

Your instructions had me laughing my butt off. Enjoyed the video and the jokes. ***THUMBS UP***

Ty Sir😊😁 I took my frozen Turkey out Sunday and put it in the fridge. I will be putting it in the oven on Wednesday night. I was nervous that I was thawing too early 😆This Video was thorough and very helpful.

Thank you very much, I always worry if I´m doing it right, this is perfect

Thanks so much for the info. I’m using a froze turkey for the first time. I’ve cooked turkeys for decades but always fresh. I’m in a small southern town because that’s where my grandchildren are, so have to deal with things as they are. I didn’t think it took that long to defrost a turkey. Really thought it was like 24 hrs. Glad I checked cause I have to brine the turkey to. At 23 lbs I’ll get it out Sunday to bring on Wednesday and cook thirsday

First time doing Turkey. I found the advice vital. Thank you

Thanks! We were gifted a fully cooked frozen 🦃 and not sure of weight. It's Monday now, so we put it in the fridge.

Thank you for the advice im useing it this year is my first year cooking a Turkey

I must have a steel stomach. I’ve thawed my turkeys in cold water all the time and they were fine. I don’t change out the water every 30 minutes. I put mine in a cooler and the frozen turkey keeps the water cold enough. The water inside a cooler shouldn’t get below 40 unless you have the top open in the sun or something. But everyBODY is different. I don’t recommend letting it sit on a kitchen counter all day to thaw, but in a pinch, a cooler full of cold water works for me.

Thank you very much !!

Thanks ❤️

I left my little Turkey 13 lb Turkey out last night

So Wednesday I buy one of the 3 lbs Turkey breast. It is frozen as hard as a rock. I put it into the freezer. Thursday afternoon I put it in the refrigerator. Thinking by Saturday it should be thawed. Friday the wife ends up in the hospital. Now it is Monday and we just got back home around 6 pm. The turkey is thawed but I am thinking I should throw it away. Hell of waste but then better safe than to chance it.

Thank you so much for sharing. This is very helpful!

Ya overthinking this to the max lol 😂😂

#1 if your turkey leaks out of the pak take it back its bad..... 2 u can thaw it in the bath tub in one day by turning it and re runing the water once u thaw u can brine it out of the pak in a deep pan and keep it in the frig up to 2 days brining then rinsh and dry then cook

You are completely right. I just bought 5 pounds turkey breast bone in. I thaw at the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. But how can i know that my fridge is 40 degrees Fahrenheit? The sign only say cold or coldest, number 1. 2,3,4. Thank you.

At least I know that my water isn't above 40 degrees Fahrenheit because an ice Capsule formed around the Turkey! DAMN IT!

very good presentation

What if you can keep the water at a steady 40 degrees?

Hello I have a Turkey 13.85 lbs frozen but I wanted to season it but only have 2 days until Thanksgiving. What can I do?

I took my turkey out on Friday to have it thawed out for next Thursday its still frozen solid. I'm no sure if this refrigerator method is going to work.

I have a pound one . And I put it in the fridge from the refrigerator on the 23th is that ok ??

I took off the plastic and put it on a platter and hope it will thow out properly is that ok?

Take it out three days before, put in fridge for two days. Then saltwater brine overnight for the last night. The salt will stop the bacteria, and the brining makes the meat a lot moister and more flavorful.

Made the mistake of freezing turkey when i really didn’t have to:)

"Uncle Bob" hahahah!!!!

This video was extremely helpful!!! Happy Holidays!!!! #2020 #SAY HER NAME BREONNA TAYLOR RIP

Ugh I got a 21lb bird, put it in the fridge from frozen on friday, it will be 7 days in the fridge, should I just get a new one?

It may seem like a stupid question but how is bacteria going to get into a bag that's airtight sealed? Don't you keep the turkey and it sealed bag while I'm thawing?

I buy mine November 1rst! and leave in the yard! always worked for me! its a little stinky! but the cooking burns off the stench!

Important Question: So I need 4 days to thaw my Turkey but it's only going to get 3 full days. So last night I asked my hubby to put the turkey unopened into a bucket of water so he did and I didn't know I was suppose to change the water every 1 hr. So this morning when I took the turkey out of the bucket the water water was frozen around the turkey. So I chipped the ice off dried if with a paper towel ikn put it back in the fridge is my Turkey still safe to eat?

@Zaxtor99

The water has to be changed every 30 minutes if you do it like that and the turkey has to be completely submerged. Because ice was still around the turkey this morning, you MIGHT be okay. but I don't know that I'd risk it honestly. I know turkeys are pretty expensive and all, but is it really worth the risk of making yourself and all your loved ones REALLY sick? Regardless of your choice, please you and your family have a really nice and safe holiday season this year!

Zaxtor99 I forgot to mention that it was in the refrigerator the whole time(probably why the water froze, our fridge gets pretty cold). So I didn't leave the turkey out or take it out of its plastic case. Idk if that makes a difference. I didnt realize I was suppose to leave the Turkey out of the fridge.

Doesn't the bacteria die during the cooking process?

@Zaxtor99

You'd still be eating dead bacteria! And you can get very sick from that. That's like saying "Oh even though all these apples have rotted and have worms crawling all through them, I'm going to make a nice apple pie with them because the cooking process will kill all the worms!" ..You'd still be eating billions of dead bacteria.. I'm sure that would be delicious and real healthy, right?

So how long can a turkey be safe in the fridge for? If someone has a 40 pound frozen turkey, that takes 8 days to thaw out..wont a turkey have gone bad in those 8 days? Or does it only start going bad after its completely defrosted? (and yes i'm asking in april) i saw frozen turkeys on sale and bought one impulsively, now i'm thinking of using it as a practice turkey :)

I would personally cook that turkey within about 4 to 5 days after the turkey has thawed out and is ready to cook. Yeah, the time the turkey sits in your fridge defrosting and is still 80% frozen doesn't count. Hope that helps!

raw meat should not be left out at temp from 41-120 or 140 and this bacteria cant be killed easily by heat since its already done damage any meat cooked must go from its cook point to below 41 within around 4-6 hours at most

How do you brine soak a turkey then if you have to change water every half hour you would be pouring all flavor and seasoning out with each water chang. Just asking for this year's 24 pound bird

Bacteria isn't bad it's foodborne illnesses that are present unknowingly and you get sick without knowing.

My turkey is not ready. It’s mostly thawed, but still a lil frozen inside. I’m going to be cooking in a few hours. Can I put it out on the counter?

cold running water,,, i have thawed out hundreds of turkeys in professional kitchens working as a chef... stainless steel sink.. trickling water, turkey completely submerged

Thaw in water . Put ice in the cooler . Not rocket science lol

Don't forget that eating bacteria can be GOOD for you! The human race has been getting weaker and weaker as we try to be safer and safer. So if you eat bacteria as much as you can the younger you are, your body will become immune to bacteria!!! LOL. Thanks for the great video. I bought my turkey and put it in the fridge.

Jesus Christ saves from sin. Romans 3: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Hebrews 9: 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Isaiah 64: 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Revelation 21: 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Romans 5: 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14: 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Romans 10: 9-10. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Jesus said John 5: 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 1John 5: 10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Ephesians 2: 8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Romans 8: 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 2 Corinthians 5: 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. ..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................
