    Listen. If a turkey is telling you how to cook, you might have bigger problems than how to cook frozen food.

    1. You might be crazy
    2. That Turkey doesn’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.

        Listen. In the year 9595 a war between turkeys and chickens will erupt. Led by a turkey named Goblox. God help us if they win. We will never see tacos again.

          The way you start your comments with “Listen” makes it impossible to not think of Navi from Ocarina of Time. But on a more serious note, I prefer eating chicken over turkey so am I supposed to side with the turkeys or the chickens?

    No, and there’s a significantly higher risk of foodborne illness because there’s a greater chance that the whole thing doesn’t come up to a safe temperature for long enough.

    Your best bet is to thaw and spatchcock it. Watch your fingers.

    If you end up needing to figure out how to thaw a huge frozen turkey, get a 5/6 gallon bucket, put the turkey in there, pack it with ice and fill it with water. Check for thawedness once an hour. It’ll take about a half day or so.

    If you do the water and bucket method, be mindful of cross contamination. A box of disposable gloves is probably a good investment for your kitchen if you don’t already have some.
