"the number 1 problem that we year year after year is, 'I don't know how to thaw my turkey' or 'I may not have my turkey thawed in time.' Sue gives this advice: "Thaw it NOW in cold water. Change that water every 30 minutes. That will be the quickest way to thaw that turkey!"

Turkey expert Sue has been on phone duty for decades and says if you follow some basic guidelines it's all pretty simple.
