Hi Forum,
I bought a 12 lb frozen turkey for a dinner next week, and realized when I got home, that I don't have room in the freezer! The dinner is a week and a half away, and the turkey is nearly thawed in the frig.. Will it be OK to store it refrigerated for this long? I found numerous sources saying to cook within two days of thawing. I know that fresh turkeys have use by dates of a couple of weeks, so why wouldn't a frozen turkey work the same way?
Thank you!
Mike
