That was quite a stubborn turkey. It stayed in the fridge for 60 hours with the idea (mine not turkey's) that it would get defrosted. It did not. After all that time, it still looked like a block of ice. So it landed in a pot with cold water. The time was passing by, the night was coming, and it was still totally frozen!
It could not stay in
that spot for the entire night - it would have got bad and we did not
want that. At midnight I set the alarm clock for 2 a.m. (when it rang, I
did not why/what for). Then, it was ready to be cooked. Some oiling and
seasoning and the turkey finally got to the oven (covered with aluminum
foil). Then, there was an option to set the alarm clock for 3 a.m. (the
foil needed to be removed after an hour) or stay up and wait. I chose
the latter. When the turkey finally got uncovered, setting the alarm
clock again. At 6 a.m. it was time to get the meat out of the oven. The turkey
was cooked and golden, and I was ready to go back to sleep. Never
had I experienced nighttime cooking.
