Don’t forget to put something underneath to catch any juices from spillin’ all over your fridge shelves!
The Cold Water Sink Dance
Now if you really pressed for time and need that gobbler ready ASAP, grab yourself two clean plastic bags and make sure they’re sealed tight without any holes or leaks. Fill up your sink with cold tap water and submerge the wrapped-up turkey into it. Every thirty minutes, change out the cold water so things stay chilly down there.
