Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to thaw a turkey in the refrigerator?
A standard guideline is about 1 day for every 4 pounds of turkey when thawing in the refrigerator, equal to 360 minutes per pound.
How long does a 14 pound turkey take to thaw in the fridge?
A 14 pound turkey takes about 84 hours, or 3.5 days, to thaw in the refrigerator.
Why is refrigerator thawing recommended over counter thawing?
Refrigerator thawing keeps the turkey at a consistently safe temperature throughout the process, while thawing on the counter allows the outer layers to reach unsafe temperatures for bacterial growth.
