How do I cook a Someday Farm turkey to perfection? Hop on over to the Recipes page here on the website. We we also provide a paper copy at pick-up. How do I thaw a frozen turkey? There are two basic methods: Refrigerator thaw (allow 24 hours for each 4 to 5 pounds of weight. A 12 to 16 pound frozen turkey takes about 3 to 4 days in the fridge; a 16 to 20 pound frozen bird takes 4 to 5 days). Cold water thaw (allow about 30 minutes per pound. A 12 to 16 pound frozen turkey should take about 6 to 8 hours to thaw in cold water. A 16 to 20 pound frozen turkey should take about 8 to 10 hours to thaw in cold water. Submerge vacuum sealed bird in cold tap water in a vessel or sink large enough to handle its size. Cook turkey as soon as possible after thawing). Can I buy other yummy farm products that same day? Yes!! We will have our packing room stocked with staples from our fields such as potatoes (several varieties), carrots, onions, Brussels sprouts, winter squash, etc. Enjoy the harvest! |
