How long will refrigerated raw wild turkey keep?

Answer 1

This food will keep for about 5 days in the refrigerator. Place the food in an air tight container for the best results. This food can easily be transferred to the freezer for longer storage time.

Answer 2

People constantly ask for some type of verification that the food they eat will not make them ill. That is nearly impossible to do without bacteriological and chemical tests, so all we can do is provide guidelines, like:

* Handle food in a sanitary manner (wash hands, clean & sanitize food-contact surfaces, protect from cross-contamination, package & store properly) * Keep potentially hazardous food either hot or cold and cook and reheat thoroughly, and * Use it within a reasonable time. In the end, you are responsible for what you feed yourself and your family. This adage has truth to it: When in doubt, throw it out.

There is no way that someone else can determine when your raw turkey stored in your refrigerator will become unsafe to eat. Raw poultry should be cooked within a couple days of purchase.

Answer 3

There are many schools of thought on the refrigeration life span of poultry. Some think that a fresh bird can be kept refrigerated in the home for a week, while others think that with a solution of salt water brine, the turkey or chicken can be kept for a bit longer. The majority tend to lean towards the bird being kept refrigerated for a week or less.

Answer 4

A wild turkey can be in the fridge for a while. You shouldn't leave a wild turkey in the fridge for longer than a week though.

Answer 5

You should cook a refrigerated turkey within 1 to 2 days.
