Urgent defrosting turkey question

9 replies

olivertwistwantsmore · 24/12/2019 09:49

My turkey crown says to defrost for 28-35 hours in fridge but I left it too late and only got it out at 6.30am today.

Will it be ok to defrost in a cool room instead?? Or will we be eating at midnight tomorrow?!

I’d just leave it on the kitchen side to get it started quicker. As long as it’s not next to a radiator it should be fine.

Sit it in cold water. Apparently salt water is a thing too.

yes. cool room, but make sure mice can't to it.

In cold water will be the quickest and safest way to defrost quickly

I hope it's well covered to protect from cats, foxes, birds etc? You would be better leaving it somewhere cool in the house

Put it outside. A bucket of brine is perfect here.

Tbh 24 hours will take it to 6.30 am tomorrow. Surely you don't want to cook it until about 11 so that would be plenty time?

Defrost it in cold water. Quickest and easiest way.
