USDA-Approved Cold-Water Thaw (ONLY if you do it <em>exactly<\/em> right)<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you <em>must<\/em> use cold water because you\u2019re behind schedule, follow <strong>strict safety rules<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep the turkey sealed in the original packaging<\/li>\n<li>Submerge in <strong>cold tap water only<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the water every 30 minutes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Estimate <strong>30 minutes per pound<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Cook <strong>immediately after thawing \u2014 no refreezing, no fridge rest<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This method is safe <em>only<\/em> if you maintain those steps exactly.
