How long Can you keep an turkey in the freezer?
A raw turkey should keep for a year in the freezer. If it is cooked, figure on a month.(To answer the Discussion) Cooked turkey will last 3-4 days in the fridge. For best flavor after cooking a turkey, remove the leftover meat from the bones. The bones develop off-flavors rather quickly, so boil them ASAP to make broth. For soup, you can then separate any meat from the bones and add extra meat that you cut off earlier.A frozen, uncooked turkey, can be kept in the freezer up to 8 months. If the turkey has been cooked, the recommended freezer life is 4-6 months. Be sure the turkey is well wrapped so as not to get freezer burn, which will decrease the flavor and vitamin quality.

As long as the pork was kept frozen the whole time it probably would not be harmful. On the other hand, after it has been in the freezer for a year, it might be freezer burned and taste nasty so that you might feel nauseous when you took a bite of it.

According to the USDA, Ground turkey lasts 3-4 months in the freezer.However, I have noticed that the flavor changes in about half that time (and I'm talking about unopened store-bought ground turkey). If you want it to last longer, use packaging that is designed for freezer storage.See Related Links.

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?
Is a year old frozen turkey still ok to cook?
Well, you can certainly try. If the turkey was commercially frozen from the start, and has remained frozen ever since, it might be safe from freezer burn. If it was fresh when you bought it and you froze it, or its been defrosted at any point, the results could be more dicey. But generally speaking, unless they were commercially frozen, or you used a high end vacuum sealer, you shouldn't leave meat in the freezer more than a couple of months.
