Avoid a Thanksgiving food poisoning fiasco! This guide emphasizes the importance of safely thawing your turkey. The recommended method is in the refrigerator, allowing ample time per pound (check specific guidelines). Submerging in cold water is faster, but requires frequent water changes. Avoid thawing at room temperature as this breeds bacteria. Regardless of your chosen method, ensure the turkey reaches a safe internal temperature during cooking to kill any lingering bacteria. Prioritize food safety for a happy and healthy Thanksgiving celebration.
