How long does it take to thaw?

Plan on about 24 hours of refrigerator thawing for every 4 to 5 lbs. A 20 lb bird needs roughly four to five days in the fridge. Never thaw it on the counter.

How many people does a 12-22 lb turkey feed?

Allow about 1 to 1.5 lbs per person. A 12 lb bird serves around 8 to 10, and a 22 lb bird serves roughly 15 to 20, with leftovers.

Is it brined or self-basting?

It is a plain frozen whole turkey with no added brine or basting solution. Season or brine it yourself if you want extra flavor and moisture.

How should I cook it?

Roast it at 325°F until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165°F. A whole unstuffed bird typically takes 13 to 15 minutes per pound, so check with a meat thermometer.

Can I cook it from frozen?

It is possible but uneven. Thawing first gives more even cooking and a better texture. If you cook from frozen, add substantial time and verify 165°F in the thigh.
