Otherwise, that thing could shoot out of that fryer like a rocket. There's nothing worse than a flaming turkey landing on your roof. And, no I'm not kidding -- people burn down their homes every year by dumping half-thawed turkeys in deep fryers. Scary stuff...

I was just thinking if it should be thawed in room temperature and you answered my question. I'm sure no one wants to eat a turkey with bacteria. Good tips on thawing the turkey.

I started a business two years ago and last year it was just chaotic. The result? I forgot to buy the turkey! with two days before Thanksgiving, I had no other choice but to buy fresh. What a pleasant surprise this little mishap was! Not only did I not have to mess around with defrosting a turkey (i always get nervous that it is thawed too long in the freezer and everyone will get sick or it is not defrosted enough...and everyone gets sick!), but it was the best tasting turkey we ever had....juicy, great flavor, etc. For a few dollars more, it was worth it to me to have such a fabulous turkey. so, for now on, we are going fresh! you should try it if your budget can support it this year!
