help!! i have another question.

[ElizabethC]

can i defrost the turkey in the microwave? how long will i do it?

[ElinorC]

I don't think that would work very well since the microwave partially cooks everything that it defrosts. You'll have to start from scratch.

please don't!!! Like Elinor pointed out it can partially cook your turkey. CL had guidelines for turkey (menus, thawing etc ) online this week. You can contact any turkey hotline too.

I just saw your other post. Since its rather late why don't you get a fresh turkey breast to do the thanksgiving dinner today. While you get the turkey ready have your sister help with side dishes etc. I don't know how many you are having for dinner but if you divide the chores among others you might be able to have it all done tonight and enjoy a late dinner. While the turkey is cooking make the cranberries, and other dishes. You can speed things up if you don't have dessert by buying one or asking someone to bring you one. You can then use your frozen turkey next week. Please do allow time to thaw.

ElizabethC-
How did everything turn out last night? Where you able to go and buy a thawed turkey? What did you end up doing?
