The size of your turkey will determine the amount of time that it will take to thaw, with larger birds taking the longest time, no matter the thawing method. In the Refrigerator, in general, allow 24 hours of thaw- ing time for each 4 to 5 lbs. of turkey. This means that a 16 lb. bird will take four days to thaw in the refrigerator. Twenty to 24 lb turkeys need five or six days. Turkeys that have been thawed in this manner can be refrozen. For cold water thawing, you should estimate that it will take around 30 minutes for each pound of turkey. Addi- tionally, you should change the water every thirty minutes. Do not refreeze turkeys that have been thawed in this man- ner. If your turkey is small enough to be thawed in the mi- crowave, you should check your owner’s manual for spec- ifications. Do not refrigerate or refreeze a turkey that has been thawed in this manner. It should be cooked immediately.
