I have been using my igloo cooler full of cold water to thaw the turkey the day before we cook it and always rinse out the bird prior to handing it off to my wife to cook. I leave the wrapper on the bird to prevent any cross contamination and always make sure the coolers are cleaned and sanitized with antibacterial dawn then rinsed with clean water. Wear gloves plastic gloves when handling and cleaning the turkey. Bad turkeys are usually a result of all the handling which brings in cross contamination.
Thank you for the important and informative video!
Is it safe for the turkey to be sitting in its “gross” juices as it’s thawing for 5-6 days in the fridge? It’s my first time cooking and now that my turkey is thawed, I noticed it’s been sitting in gross looking blood water for those 5-6 days… though still in its bag, is this safe to still cook?? If so, what do I do with the juices? Isn’t it highly bacterial to drain it down the sink? Please advise! I’m not sure if I need to throw this away asap
Good question. I’m guessing that when it’s cooking, the heat will kill the bacteria. At least, that’s what I’m hoping.
I bought my 14 lb turnkey 6 days ago and it’s been in the fridge is that safe
I bought my 18 lb turkey 4 days ago and it wasn't fully thawed so I'm stressing too lol
Did she start by saying “howdy” ? Hilarious

It’s a Texas A&M thing
