Just took a frozen Aldi turkey breast out of the freezer - on the back of the packaging it says "Best cooked from frozen" - surely that can't be right? :-S

That doesn't sound right to me Ann. I always thought poultry had to be properly defrosted before cooking.
Maybe I'm wrong, and others will advise, but that's what I would do.

I've been reading about this happening :-S... but I'm an 'old cook' and certainly wouldn't cook poultry from frozen... but then always some things changing (think there's probably an uptodate freezing method now?)
Anyway however you choose, roast it well enough and enjoy your dinner.

AnnCardiff >3 where did you buy it, some stores websites - when you click on the item will give you all the instructions/guidelines that you need for preparing and cooking an item :-)

My DIL cooks a whole turkey from frozen and when it's thawed out enough in the oven she reaches in and pulls out the bag of giblets.

Hi Ann, I always defrost before cooking, I would be wary about cooking it from frozen.

As someone said on here, cook it as you always do. Enjoy your dinner!




MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR to everyone.

I thought the rule was, if it has four legs you can cook it from frozen, less than four, you defrost first!!

Anyway, thanks for the input - I shall carry on defrosting it :-D
