soak your turkey under cold running water. COLD RUNNING water. It should thaw enough to cook in about 2-3 hours.

Hey Kim, the beer will defrost before the turkey. Drink the beer & serve the frozen turkey with steak knives. Happy Thanksgiving, honey !

oh boy. Girl, I feel your pain. I am a good cook but I am just not feeling it this year. I forgot to take the turkey out of the fridge yesterday and put it in cold water overnight - ended up doing the cold water thing this morning and the bird is in the oven as I type. Hoping it is done by noon - if not I bought a ham as a back up. don't fret about the food - its about friends, family and laughter and fun! We're here for ya! PM if you need some help!

i am ASTOUNDED at how quickly the TURKEY THERMOMETER materialized............(plus my kitchen now sounds like an automotive repair shop so i guess the gravy boat is in town)
If you don't here from me within the next few hours, that means that i've been smothered and stuffed in the closet...........i afraid to enter the kitchen. it is the sound of the electric gravy mixer...............

Kim - let us know how your dinner turned out.
I'm thankful there are people like you out there. You made my day! Thanks for that.
Hopefully you didn't end up in the oven with the bird!

Murphy's LAW!!! Things always go wrong on Thanksgiving -- drink the beer and don't worry about things. It'll be something to laugh about later (like next year!).
Next time that happens use a pressure cooker to cook the bird. It gets done and no one knows the difference. Ask me how I know that! My mother ALWAYS forgot to put the bird out to thaw.... We used the pressure cooker for years until Grandmother banished Mom from the kitchen.
Hope your day turned out good - bet it did.
Hugs BD
