For safe and even thawing, keep your turkey in its original wrapper and place it in a shallow pan in the fridge; it’ll need about 24 hours for every 5 pounds if you go that route. If you’re short on time, submerge it fully in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes—that’ll take roughly 30 minutes per pound. Never use warm water or leave it on the counter, as that invites bacteria.
