Heyya!! I wonder how long does it take to defrost a turkey breast. I've got one in the freezer, and I'm unsure how long it'll take. Some say fridge thawing is best, but ain't nobody got time for that! Any quicker methods that won't sacrifice taste or safety? Appreciate the tips!

Ah, the age-old turkey defrosting dilemma! Plan on about 24 hours for every 5 pounds of turkey breast in the refrigerator, or use the cold water method for faster thawing.

Defrosting a turkey breast can vary! I think placing it in a cold water bath can speed up the process, though. Change the water every 30 minutes to ensure it stays cold and continues to thaw evenly.

Cold water bath is a top pick to thaw that turkey breast quicker. Just remember to swap out the water every half-hour to keep things moving smoothly. Happy cooking!
