Thaw your Gobbler! Have you remembered to pull your Thanksgiving turkey out of the freezer? Use this chart from howtocookathanksgivingturkey.com
According to the site, the only safe way to thaw a frozen turkey is to place it in the refrigerator. Other methods such as running cold water over it or placing it in the microwave oven are not safe because of the chance of bacterial growth and contamination.
