If I have a raw turkey in my fridge for more than 1 week, would it be safe to cook and eat it?!
Answers: IF you put it in the fridge from the freezer, it would take a few days to thaw, and therefore would be safe, BUT if it wasn't frozen to begin with, then don't eat it. A week is too long for raw poultry.
yes if it frozen.. its ok
Make sure it's dead first!
no
freeze it if it hasnt been frozen
or go to a retailer that delivers the day before *(most deliver christmas eve)
yes it will be safe.
if its in the fridge i would not eat it after 3 days
its gotta be dead, forzen, featherless and decapitaded
oh and dont forget...STUFFED!!!
set the bird free!!!!
if it the right temp yes
it depends on the use by date? if its still in the packaging and the use by date is still within its time span id eat it, but if it hasnt got a use by date, and its unpacked i wouldnt, i wud just throw it out, any raw meat is tricky, but chicken if out of date, can be very dangerous!
If it still looks ok (no mold, ugly spots, slime) and it still smells GOOD, and if it has ALWAYS been either frozen or refrigerated, it should be fine.

Yuck. You could become so ill. Food poisioning is no joke. Chuck the bird.
Probably It'll be okay since it was in the fridge and kept at 40 degrees or cooler. Just be sure to use a meat thermometer and see that during roasting the bird reaches an internal temperature of 180 degrees. That'll still be moist enough to be good to eat and it will kill any germs that may have started growing on it or in it.
