Do turkeys that tell you to cook from frozen usually turn out as good as thawed ones?

  If a turkey ever tells me how to cook it, I’m not going to cook it.

  IMO yes, or better. I also cook mine upside down. If you don’t need to present it later, the breasts will just simmer in juice the whole time.

    Same, but I spatchcock mine. Massively speeds up the cooking time.

      Do you simply assume that everybody knows what that means, or do you not care?

      I saw that in a video with Sasha Gray once. Absolute smut.

    Isn’t it dangerous to take it out of the oven with your feet, or do you have special oven socks?

  I don’t know. I’ve never had one talk to me about recipes. They must be thinking about food, though. Because they say ‘gobble gobble gobble’ a lot.

  No, turkeys who tell lies are often heading down a bad road. They won’t turn out well at all. It’s a shame. You used to be able to trust a turkey, not these days.

  I had only had from frozen turkey before. A friend gave me a turkey he got from work that he didn’t want. Fresh never frozen bird. It was BY FAR the great turkey I’d ever had. You’d think it was a different animal, so tender and juicy.

  Probably never having one again though because they’re much more expensive lol. Hopefully my buddy gets more free turkey!

  It’s safe to cook food straight from frozen, but it will take longer. Use a thermometer to make sure it gets to the correct temperature.

  I’ve always thought recipes that insist on thawed food and preheated ovens, do so only to ensure the prescribed cooking time is correct.

  I cook frozen stuff all the time. I never pre-thaw unless I need to manipulate it in some way that I can’t as a solid frozen block. Like, you can’t stuff a frozen turkey.

    They are concerned about bacterial growth. The phase change area from fozen to thaw takes more energy. As such you get the outside thawed and then starts cooking and moving along fast while it will take a long time to get the interior to thaw. They are worried about any part spending to much time in the danger zone temps. I honestly don’t know how much an issue it actually is. I kinda feel any part that reaches thaw will cook fast enough to be equivalent to thawed and anything not thawed is still frozen so safe as far as growth is concerned.
