Does a turkey weigh more frozen than thawed?
This is a bit of a trick question! Here's why:
* Water content: When a turkey is frozen, the water inside it turns to ice. Ice is less dense than liquid water.
* Displacement: The ice takes up more space than the same amount of liquid water.
* Weight: While the turkey itself doesn't gain weight, the ice does add to the overall weight of the package.
So, the answer is:
* The frozen turkey package weighs more due to the added weight of the ice.
* The thawed turkey weighs less because the ice has melted away.
However, the *actual turkey meat* weighs the same whether frozen or thawed.
