Defrost your turkey in its packaging, placing it in the refrigerator on a tray, breast side up. Estimate at least one day per 4.4 lb (2 kg) for complete defrosting.
It is recommended to defrost turkey in the refrigerator. To accelerate the process, you can defrost it in cold water by carefully following these instructions:
leave the turkey in its packaging, breast side at the bottom of the container, and cover with water;
change the water every 30 minutes to keep the surface cold;
estimate at least 1 to 2 hours per 2.2 lb (1 kg) for complete defrosting.
