Defrost your turkey? Why? Yes, I know every professional chef is always saying that is what to do with a frozen bird. Defrost it because it won't get done otherwise. My mom discovered by accident fifty years ago that you can cook a bird from frozen if you go low and slow. Takes longer but that's the method that has been used in our family ever since I've been alive. And it comes out juicier than a defrosted bird without the need to baste. I'll stick with the frozen bird, thank you.
