<human>:  How do you thaw a turkey quickly and safely?
<bot>: The best way to thaw a turkey quickly and safely is to place the turkey in its unopened packaging in a sink or bowl of cold water. Change the water every 30 minutes and make sure the water stays cold. This method should take about 30 minutes per pound of turkey and should not take more than a few hours. Once the turkey is thawed, cook it immediately.
