Cooking a Turkey from the Frozen State

A common problem on Thanksgiving is waking up in the morning and realizing that the turkey has not been thawed, and there is not enough time to thaw the turkey in the refrigerator or in flowing water at 70°F, either of which can take hours. However, there is a very simple solution – cook the entire turkey from the frozen state. Research conducted by Dr. Peter Snyder of the University of Minnesota shows just how to do this, and the result is a safe, high quality turkey for your holiday meal.
