Turkey should not be used after four(4) days that has been kept in a refrigerator. But, if it has been reheated to a temperature of 165F, it may be used up to six(6) days.
You can also freeze turkey and keep it in the freezer up to six(6) months.
This includes any recipes made with turkey meat.
It will be very difficult to maintain a safe temperature over that period of time without equipment that has a thermostat control. Also, after about 1 hour you've extracted all the flavor from the turkey carcass and there's no point to simmering it any further.
If you have kept it properly refrigerated, and then cook it at high heat for some time, as in making soup, you should be okay.
Yes, if it has been kept in fridge.
Yes.I do it all the time.
I'd freeze it as turkey left overs do not taste good after 3-4 days.
An uncooked turkey should be good 1 - 2 days stored in the refrigerator.
Ingredients1 ea Meaty turkey carcass, leftOver from 20 pound bird 4 qt Water or broth1 tb Chopped garlic3 c Chopped celery1 ea Large onion, quartered2 tb Peppercorns2 c Chopped carrots6 ea Whole bay leaves1 tb Sweet basil, dried2 tb Whole dried Tarragon1 c Chopped fresh parsley1 c Wild riceSalt and pepper to taste Take the meat off the turkey carcass as soon as dinner is over and toss the carcass into a large pot. Add all of the spices and water (or broth). I usually also add a cup or two of white wine. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to simmer for an additional 6-8 hours. Cool the soup and strain. If you wish, skim any fat from the broth at this point. Return the broth to the pot, add large pieces of cooked turkey and any coarsely chopped fresh vegetables you wish to the mixture; add wild rice, barley, or whatever legume you wish, and simmer (covered) until the rice is done and the vegetables are crisp-tender. Enjoy......this also freezes well.

Fresh turkey stock should be good for 3 to 4 days refrigerated.
A 2 kg turkey takes about 4 days to defrost. On average, you can defrost a 4lb turkey in a day.
Ingredients1 lb Turkey kielbasa sausages1 Chopped onion1 cn 28 oz, Sauerkraut1/2 c Dry white wine1/4 c Chopped sweet pepperGrill the sausages. Combine with remaining ingrediants. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes.
Put the carcass in a large soup pot and cover it with water by at least an inch. Break the carcass up so that it will fit in the pot. Add carrots, celery, onion, garlic and red pepper (optional). Cover and bring it slowly to a boil; reduce the heat to low and skim off any scum on surface. Cover again, and simmer 3 to 4 hours. Remove the pot from the heat and strain the contents. To remove smaller particles in the stock, pour the liquid through a fine mesh sieve placed over a large pot. Discard the turkey bones, meat, and vegetables, or serve them for lunch. Place the stock into shallow containers and refrigerate it immediately. Refrigerate the soup stock overnight, and skim any congealed fat from the surface in the morning. The stock will last for about a week in the fridge. You can freeze it, and it should maintain taste and quality for about three months.
You should plan on cooking it within a day or two.
Figure one day of thawing in the fridge for each 4-5 pounds of turkey. So it should take a 18lb bird about 4 days to thaw.
The skin takes 30-40 days to go through your digestive track. And the turkey it self 3-4 days
