Cold Water Thawing: If you need to thaw a turkey more quickly, you can use the cold water method. Submerge the turkey in its original packaging in cold water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Allow 30 minutes of thawing time per pound. So, a 12-pound turkey would take about 6 hours to thaw using this method.
