Is the Turkey Out Defrosting Yet?
Alright team… quick roll call: who actually has their turkey out defrosting?
If you’re cooking a frozen bird this year, here’s your friendly Real BBQ. Real Results. reminder — that thing needs time. A LOT of time.
General rule:
  • 4–5 lbs = 1 day in the fridge
  • 12–16 lbs = 3–4 days
  • 18–20+ lbs = 4–5 days
And no, the counter doesn’t count. And yes, every year someone waits until the last minute and ends up panic-thawing like a rookie.
Drop it in the comments: Is your turkey already in the fridge? Are you ahead of the game or living dangerously?
Let’s see who the planners are… and who’s about to be doing the cold-water shuffle on Tuesday.
