How long does unfrozen turkey stay fresh?

Answer 1

Cooked turkey is at it's best the day it is cooked. If you have more than can be used that day, remove it from the bones and refrigerate. Use it up within a day or two. Beyond that, you'll start to notice off-flavors.

If you want to keep the cooked turkey longer, consider wrapping it securely and freezing it. Use it within a month.

Answer 2

3 to 5 days. I would say about three day, you must use it as soon as possible. == ==

That might be pushing it. Start by making sure the turkey hasn't spoiled after the five days. Chances are it hasn't but it's always best to be sure. If it is still good make your casserole and freeze it till you're ready to serve it.

Answer 3

After thawing, you have only about two days to cook it, then all the bacteria that have been asleep while it was frozen will make it into something you very much DON'T want to eat. If this is a "fresh" (unfrozen) turkey you have just purchased from the supermarket, it should have a due date on it somewhere. Much like chicken, raw turkey that has never been frozen will last in your fridge for about four or five days.

Answer 4

An unfrozen turkey stays fresh for approximately one to two days in the refrigerator. If the turkey has been left out for defrosting, you should cook it right away.
