According to butterball how long do you defrost a turkey?

Butterball recommends defrosting a turkey in the refrigerator, which takes 24 hours for every 5 pounds of turkey.

For example, a 15-pound turkey would take 72 hours (3 days) to defrost in the refrigerator.

Here's a breakdown of their recommendations:

* Refrigerator: 24 hours for every 5 pounds of turkey

* Cold water: 30 minutes for every pound of turkey

* Microwave: Not recommended for defrosting whole turkeys

Remember to always follow safe food handling practices and make sure the turkey is completely thawed before cooking.
