Thanks Crafty Bear. I've never tried this.

Makes it nice and easy if you forget to thaw it in advance. Seasoning would be different too.

yes, or at the last minute find out you have Company coming and need to hurry and go buy a turkey

Hmmmmm.....not sure about this one. :roll: I don't think I would want to cook an unwashed turkey. :|

Are you kidding me? I wouldn't think of feeding an unwashed turkey to my family. Not only are they rinsed at the plant in their own "poop soup" they still have little feathers stuck on them and pin feathers that look like little zits. When the turkey thaws, it always has bloody juice running out. If you don't clean it, that's just some of what you're having for dinner.
Many years ago on "60 Minutes" I saw a clip about how chicken and turkeys are prepared. That's where I came up with the "poop soup" and that's what the processors called it! It was years before I could eat any poultry again.
I may take it to an extreme, but my poultry is always washed in a sinkfull of hot, soapy water. I even use a clean dishcloth inside and out. After I get it cleaned, I thoroughly clean the sink and anything near the prep site.
I learned to do this when I was a student nurse (RN) many years ago. No one has ever complained about my birds tasting soapy.

Thanks, Crafty!

I agree with Shequilts. The part about removing the giblet bag - paper OK of cook, plastic don't cook inside turkey.
How are you to know if the bag is paper or plastic if turkey is frozen?

Can't do that either!

Thanks for sharing.
