Defrosting Turkey Crown At Room Temperature. I have always thawed my birds on the counter overnight and in the morning I refrigerated it to be cooked later. Leave turkey in your refrigerator until fully thawed.
This method is quicker than refrigerator thawing but requires more care. In a cool room that must stay below 175C allow 3-4 hrs per kg. How do I remove the innards from the defrost turkey crown.
All Waitrose turkeys that have been frozen at home or bought frozen.
Packaging says defrost for 10-12 hours per kilogram in a fridge at 4 degrees centigrade. Submerge the entire wrapped turkey in cold water. I grew up on a big turkey farm. As a good rule 24 hours should be given to each 2kg of full turkey therefore if your turkey is 6 kilos allow three full days to defrost.
