Do you know where I can buy a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving? All I see are frozen, maybe I'm going to the wrong places. Thanks!

Several of the guys on the forum would smoke it or fry it. I wish I could eat some! Now, if you just want a lot of good juicy meat at a fantastic price cook it in a Brown 'n Bag from Reynolds. You will not be sorry. Remember, folks, this is her first time! be gentle with your outdoor suggestions! Acutally, multiply the cost of three cans of pet food, it would not be expensive dog or cat food! Internet is full of leftover turkey recipes! EM suggestion: if you have room in the freezer, do not cook one now. Let the "experts" take care of the holidays. You can play with your bargain when you will have less stress! Turkey tastes good in April!

I guess I ought to put some thought into thawing it. It'll take a day or two, right?

Dern... I bought two turkeys at the Florence Walmart at 40 cents a pound. I will probably be buying 2-4 more before the big turkey eating day. I like to deep fry them and as expensive as the oil is I like to use it up.
Yes, just as semiannualhick mentioned you need to thaw it in the refrigerator(not at room temp, not in cold water) be sure to give it plenty of time. There is directions with it on how to thaw.
Follow Earthmommas recommendation with the Renolds bag. My mother used to cook them in a paper sack with same results. I suggest you cook it at a low temp 220-250 for about twelve hours(according to size). Let it set for at least 30 minutes before carving.
All you have to worry about now is all the fixings your going to have with it. I like Pecan pie!
