  1. "Change the water every half hour to prevent bacteria growth." If the turkey is still in its packaging then where is the bacteria going to grow. Or is changing the water just lowering the water temperature again each half an hour?

  2. Even better, safer and IMO faster is to put the turkey in a suitably sized container set below a faucet. Turn on the water to give a slow steady stream of cold water. I use a laundry room utility sink and a large enamelware canner. Weight down the turkey so it stays submerged.

    This method does not require emptying the container and adding fresh water every 30 minutes. Instead it's a constant stream of fresh water.
