📝 Preparation Steps
1
Check your refrigerator’s internal temperature; it should be 40 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.
2
Keep the turkey in its original wrapping. Place the turkey on a tray or shallow pan to collect any juices that may leak out as it thaws.
3
Store it at or near the bottom of your refrigerator so if it leaks, it won’t contaminate anything under it. Allow ⏱️ 24 hours for every 4-5 pounds of frozen turkey.
