THAWING THE BIRD
If you purchase a frozen turkey, it’s important to thaw it properly before cooking. The best way to let a turkey thaw is in the refrigerator – and this may take several days depending on the weight of the bird. Thawing it in the refrigerator instead of at room temperature is the safest method to use because it reduces the risk of bacterial growth.
Leave the turkey in its original wrapping, place it in a pan to catch any juices, and refrigerate until thawed. Allow two to four days for thawing. A 4- to 12-pound bird will take one to two days to thaw; a 12-20-pound bird will take two to three days and a 20- 24-pound turkey will take up to four days to thaw. Once thawed, a turkey should be cooked immediately.

HOLIDAY TURKEY RECIPE
Marinating the turkey at least 6 hours before cooking infuses the meat with more flavor than simply sprinkling on the seasonings and immediately baking the bird. The sweet vermouth sauce ensures a tender entrée.
1 (10-12 pound) turkey
2 tablespoons of Kosher salt
1 tablespoon of pepper
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 ½ cups sweet vermouth
½ cup honey
Remove giblets and neck from turkey, and reserve for another use. Rinse turkey with cold water, and pat dry.
Place turkey in a large shallow dish. Stir together 2 tablespoons salt and next 4 ingredients; pour mixture over turkey. Cover turkey, and chill at least 6 hours.
Remove turkey from refrigerator, and brush turkey cavity with marinade. Lift wingtips up and over back, and tuck them under the bird. Place turkey, breast side up, in a large greased roasting pan.
Cover turkey with aluminum foil, and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, and bake at 2 hours, basting occasionally with pan drippings.
Process 1 cup onion, vermouth, and honey in a container of an electric blender or food processor until smooth. Pour mixture over turkey, and bake 1 more hour or until a meat thermometer inserted into turkey thigh registers 180 degrees.
Broil turkey 5 ½ inches from heat until golden. Garnish, if desired.
Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
