A Clearwater man threw his Thanksgiving turkey in his swimming pool to defrost it.
Mark O’Donnell said it’s a family tradition to toss the bird into the pool.
He said every year they take a video of the annual tradition.
“Most people wonder ‘doesn’t chlorine get into your turkey?’ These bags are sealed by factories. We’ve never had a leakage yet and no chlorine in our turkey,” said O’Donnell.
O’Donnell said they tossed the 16-pound turkey into the pool on Tuesday. It took about four hours to defrost.
