Tip-sy Tuesday: What Not To Do When Thawing Your Turkey

So here's a quick tip to save you from the mess I just found and created SO much work for myself that I do not have time for 🤦‍♀️

I put my turkey in a plastic grocery bag in our side fridge to thaw. To my surprise when I checked on it today to see if it was still frozen I found that it indeed had thawed but unfortunately both the bag the turkey came in and the grocery bag both had a hole in them and leaked raw turkey juice everywhere. So I had to take everything out, throw some of the perishables out that the juice got on, wash and sanitize the inside of the fridge including the shelf and basket underneath. Ugh. 

So the tip is to follow the directions on the turkey that say to put the turkey in its bag in a roasting pan to thaw it in the fridge. Good grief.
