Here’s a quick guide for thawing in the fridge: 🕓 Allow 24 hours for every 4–5 pounds of turkey. That means... • 4–12 lb = 1–3 days • 12–16 lb = 3–4 days • 16–20 lb = 4–5 days • 20–24 lb = 5–6 days 🧊 Keep it in the fridge (40°F or below) — never thaw on the counter! Plan ahead so your turkey is safe and ready for the oven! 🍽️ #FoodSafety #ThanksgivingPrep #WCPHcares Print 34
