Is a 6 year old frozen turkey any good?

It's a bit "iffy" for a couple of reasons. Many "fresh" turkeys are actually frozen on their way to your local supermarket, and freezing, thawing and then refreezing foods without cooking destroys the taste and texture of the food. If you bought this "fresh" at the supermarket and you're sure it wasn't previously frozen, how long before the "due date" did you freeze it? A freezer doesn't stop time, it just extends the time it takes food to go bad. If you froze it on the "due date" you are asking for trouble. If the "due date" was still a week or two away, the turkey should be okay, with a couple of exceptions. The colder your freezer is, the longer stored meats will last. if your freezer is set to 20 degrees F, then a turkey will probably stay reasonably edible for six months. If your freezer is set for zero degrees F, you should be okay for a year. Another exception is power outages, especially power outages lasting a 12 hours or more. The meat in a freezer during a power outage will stay frozen for a day or so, but the sooner you cook it afterwards, the better. How cold is your freezer? When was it frozen before the due date?

Why do food in freezer stay frozen when they are not covered?

Hot air rises, so the colder the air, the lower it wil be. Okay, now think of the freezers as swimming pools filled with freezing cold air! but the air is to cold to float up, because all the hot air gets there first, so it sits in the freezer keeping all the frozen goods frozen...


How long can vacuum sealed foods stay frozen and remain edible?

Vacuum sealing tends to hold food better in the frozen state because it prevents freezer burn. It will not prevent rancidity and other flavor changes. Still plan to use the food in the same time frame normally recommended for the food you are storing. See Related Links for storage recommendations of various foods.
