🏥 Health
The McLean County Health Department advised that thawing your frozen turkey in the refrigerator is the safest way to keep it below 40 degrees and prevent harmful bacteria, noting that you should allow one day in the fridge for every four to five pounds of the bird.
Alternative methods like the microwave or cold water bath must be handled with care—changing the water every 30 minutes—to avoid uneven thawing and potential cooking before time.
