I bought butterball turkey today Nov 19th and it was completely thawed. Can I refreeze it? Or can I keep it in the refrigerator until Thursday, which is 5 days from now. I don`t know how long it was thawed before I bought it.
Fully thawed raw turkey should not be left out of the refrigerator for more than two hours. If the temperature is above 90°F (32°C), this time is reduced to just one hour. After these time limits, the turkey can enter the "danger zone" where harmful bacteria can grow, making it unsafe to consume. It's best to keep thawed turkey refrigerated until you're ready to cook it.
