Are you ready?

You sure?

Postive?

Well... okay... I'd better cut this to avoid offending anybody. Hold on...

Okay!

Okay, so, how do you know when a turkey is defrosted?

What?

Okay, I just wanted to make sure you'd answer the question. But seriously. How do you know?

Am vegetarian, never cooked meat in my life. Have no idea.

There are decided benefits to being a vegetarian. :)

When it's not completely stiff and denting it leaves an impact-print on the meat rather than just making your hand hurt? *grin*

I usually cheat with chickens, at least, and just stick the thing in there half-defrosted, or still frozen. It doesn't seem to make any difference in tenderness or anything -- I just cook at a lower temp if it was starting from frozen.

In that case, have at it. Thawing in the brine/marinade will in no way impede either the thawing or the brining.

You stick your hand into one of the cavities (you're going to have to do so anyway to retrieve the bag of giblets, quit flinching) and check if there are ice crystals in there.

One of the cavities? There's more than one?

I may have to do some poultry investigation.

Yeah, stick your hand up the bird's cold dead ass and feel around inside. :p
