Think of your refrigerator as a chill spa for your frozen friend. It keeps everything at a safe, steady temperature—usually around 40°F (4°C). This prevents nasty bacteria from throwing a party on your turkey. No one wants a party in their bird that ends with a trip to the bathroom.
This method is also the most forgiving. You can forget about it for a day (or two) and it’s totally fine. It’s the low-maintenance way to defrost, perfect for your busy life.
