If the water was cold you should be just fine, just cook it all the way through.

Happy Thanksgiving :cue:

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

cook to 160 at the thickest point and it will be fine.  I always thaw in a sink of water and it can take 12 hours easily on a big bird.  No one has ever gotten sick from anything I have cooked ever.  cook and have fun.

especially if there was still ice on the inside.
