How long can turkey be frozen?
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.

How long should you thaw the oven ready turkey by jennie o?
Thawing a turkey in the refrigerator is the safest and best option, but it does take some time. Your refrigerator is probably only 10 - 12 degrees warmer than your freezer and a frozen turkey basically a big ice cube in a plastic bag. The USDA recommends 4 to 5 hours for every pound of frozen turkey. For a 16 to 20 pound turkey that is 4 to 5 DAYS! But if you don't have the time to thaw a turkey in this manner you can do this: Keep your turkey in its original plastic packaging. Keep your turkey in the refrigerator (don't set it out on the counter.) The day before your cook time place the turkey in a large pail or in the sink and run cold (not hot) water over the turkey, as cold as you can get it. It's best to keep the turkey submerged in water, but it is very important to keep the water circulating as the turkey defrosts. Adjust the water coming in so that it replaces the water around the turkey every 30 minutes or so. Hard to gauge, but you don't need to turn the water on full blast. Test the thawing by pressing on the turkey. The entire process depends on the size of the bird, but five or six hours should be enough. The USDA recommends 30 minutes per pound and cooking the bird immediately. But you know what fussbudgets those folks are. After you have completed the thaw process remove the bird from the plastic and feel around in the cavity for frozen sections. Wash the bird and place it in the refrigerator until time to cook.

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.
