How I recently got a turkey from frozen solid to table side in under 24 hours

This was my first attempt at a bird earlier this fall. It was done on a whim for a football game and as a dry run for thanksgiving. Although I have shared this before, I thought it was relevant in case someone was sitting on a frozen bird with a time deadline looming.
This is what I wrote about the experience with some extra photos:
Here are a few pic's from the link-

My defrost method was unorthodox but it worked for me. If you are getting a late start on your bird, I have faith you can pull it off! Just keep a positive attitude and it will turn out great!
Happy Turkey Day-
I would be honored if you liked my page on Facebook- It's just getting going:

Isn't thawing frozen meat in warm water the fasttrack to food poisoning?

The proper way to defrost a frozen bird is in the fridge or in a cold water bath...replacing the water every 30 min.njl said:Isn't thawing frozen meat in warm water the fasttrack to food poisoning?

It's all gravy baby! Lol
Just don't want people encouraged to try your method. Happy it worked for you and the family! The end result looked great!
I picked up a fresh 19.5 # bird at Costco for $20 so I'm glad I didn't have to bother with thawing a frozen bird this year. What are you doing this year??
